Abstract
Arthroscopy of the wrist was first used for diagnostic purposes by Chen in the 1970s. The arthroscope provides a magnified view of the intercarpal structures of the wrist. With current instrumentation, excellent visualization of all the anatomic structures that reside within the wrist capsule is easly obtained.
Lesions of the TFCC are more frequently implicated as a cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Accurate diagnosis of TFCC pathology must be based on a through history and physical examination. Imaging modalities of particular use include plain radiographs, triple compartment arthrograpgy, and MR imaging. The most sensitive and accurate diagnosis of the extent as well as the clinical significant of intra-articular pathology on the ulnar side of the wrist is by means of the arthroscope.
