Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small fiber-optic camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny portals to diagnose and treat a wide variety of wrist conditions. The wrist is one of the most complex joints in the human body, containing eight small carpal bones, multiple ligaments, triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), and numerous joint surfaces that can be difficult to fully evaluate with imaging studies alone. Arthroscopy allows direct visualization of these structures with magnification, enabling accurate diagnosis and precise treatment while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Dr. Kumar performs wrist arthroscopy for numerous conditions including triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears, scapholunate ligament injuries, lunotriquetral ligament tears, wrist ganglion cysts arising from joint lining, synovitis and inflammatory conditions, loose body removal, fracture evaluation and treatment, cartilage damage assessment and repair, and chronic wrist pain of unclear etiology. The procedure is particularly valuable for diagnosing subtle ligament injuries and cartilage lesions that may not be visible on MRI scans. Wrist arthroscopy can be both diagnostic (to identify the source of pain) and therapeutic (to repair damaged structures). The surgery is performed through 4-6 small portals (each 3-4mm) positioned around the wrist to access different joint compartments. Dr. Kumar uses high-definition camera systems with magnification to systematically inspect the radiocarpal joint (between forearm and wrist bones), midcarpal joint (between two rows of wrist bones), and distal radioulnar joint (between the two forearm bones at the wrist). Common arthroscopic treatments include TFCC debridement or repair, ligament reconstruction, synovectomy for inflammatory synovitis, removal of loose bodies, debridement of cartilage lesions, ganglion cyst excision, and fracture fixation assistance. Radiofrequency and laser devices allow precise tissue removal and shaping. Patients benefit from the minimally invasive nature of wrist arthroscopy compared to traditional open wrist surgery. The small incisions result in less post-operative pain, reduced scarring, faster healing, earlier return to function, and lower complication rates. Recovery varies depending on the specific procedure performed, ranging from 6-8 weeks for simple debridement to 3-4 months for ligament repairs. Physical therapy is essential for optimal recovery to restore wrist strength, flexibility, and function. Many patients can return to desk work within 2-3 weeks with proper splinting. At Arthoscenter, Dr. Kumar achieves excellent results with wrist arthroscopy using state-of-the-art equipment and refined surgical techniques. Diagnostic accuracy exceeds 95%, and therapeutic procedures show success rates of 75-90% depending on the specific pathology treated. Outcomes are best when arthroscopy is performed early before severe degenerative changes develop. Dr. Kumar's expertise in this technically demanding procedure ensures thorough evaluation and precise treatment while minimizing complications such as nerve injury, tendon damage, or joint stiffness.
