Arthroscopic Wrist Surgery
Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat many wrist injuries and conditions. In the past, arthroscopy was limited to the knee and shoulder. But with recent technological advances and refinements, the wrist has become the third most common joint to undergo arthroscopy. This has revolutionized the way many wrist injuries are treated.
Because the incisions used in wrist arthroscopy are smaller and disrupt less soft tissue than more conventional open surgery, pain, swelling, stiffness, and complications are usually minimized, and recovery is oftentimes faster.
If your wrist condition requires surgery, please ask our hand surgeon, Dr. Richard Gilbert, if your particular diagnosis is amenable to arthroscopic or other minimally invasive forms of treatment.
