Understanding Wrist Arthroscopy
Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that allows doctors to see inside the wrist joint using a small camera. It helps diagnose and treat many wrist problems without making large cuts. This procedure is safer and usually has a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery.
Surgical Technique of Wrist Arthroscopy
During wrist arthroscopy, the surgeon makes tiny cuts around the wrist to insert a small arthroscope and other surgical tools. A camera inside the arthroscope sends clear images of the wrist joint to a monitor, helping the surgeon work with high accuracy. The surgery is often done using specialized tools like arthroscopic shavers, graspers, and probes. Saline solution is used to keep the joint open and provide a clear view. Surgeons can repair ligaments, remove loose bodies, or treat cartilage damage during this procedure. This technique is widely valued for reducing trauma to surrounding tissues and allowing faster rehabilitation.
When is Wrist Arthroscopy Needed?
- To repair torn ligaments inside the wrist joint.
- To treat cartilage damage caused by injury or arthritis.
- To remove loose bone or tissue fragments that cause pain.
- To diagnose unexplained wrist pain not visible on scans.
- To treat wrist instability or stiffness.
