Wrist

Arthroscopy Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the wrist joint. The procedure involves inserting a small camera and surgical instruments into the joint through a few small incisions. This allows doctors to see the inside of the wrist joint and treat the underlying cause of the problem. Wrist arthroscopy can be used to treat conditions such as wrist fractures, ganglions, carpal tunnel syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis. Benefits of wrist arthroscopy include a shorter recovery time, less pain and scarring, and reduced risk of complications compared to open surgery. This procedure may be recommended by your doctor when treating pain and stiffness in the wrist joint.
