Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat wrist problems such as ligament tears, cartilage injuries, or chronic wrist pain. It involves inserting a small camera and instruments into the wrist joint.

This technique allows for a detailed view of internal structures and often results in less pain, smaller incisions, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

Common procedures performed via arthroscopy include debridement, ligament repair, and removal of loose bodies. Patients typically return to daily activities within a few weeks, with hand therapy aiding full recovery.
