| Abstract: | Arthroscopic surgical techniques are well suited for the removal of diseased tissue. This article illustrates anecdotally some of the feasible arthroscopic "-ectomy" procedures of the wrist: centrum excision of the triangular fibrocartilage complex following injury; synovectomy in the management of wrist rheumatoid arthritis; proximal row carpectomy for degenerative arthritis; and hemiresection of the distal ulna. |
