Abstract

Wrist arthroscopy presents a significant learning curve, necessitating various precautions to avoid complications like tendon laceration or nerve injury. Arthroscopic procedures become even more challenging in arthritic wrists due to altered anatomy and reduced joint space, which in turn increase the risk of complications. In this review article, we offer tips and tricks to minimize these risks. Despite the challenges, wrist arthroscopy remains a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool when performed by an experienced surgeon with thorough preoperative planning and careful patient selection.
