REVIEW OF WRIST ARTHROSCOPIES AT A LARGE DGH FROM A SINGLE SURGEON



Abstract

A single reviewer reviewed 184 consecutive wrist arthroscopies performed by one surgeon. Epidemiological data and clinical findings including outcome measures were recorded. It was noted that clinical assessment was more accurate than modern Imaging modalities in diagnosing wrist injuries apart from TFCC injuries. The results also showed a low intervention rate with 37 further procedures performed. There was a low complication rate.

Wrist arthroscopy is a safe and accurate diagnostic procedure.

The abstracts were prepared by Wing Commander T. P. S. Bhullar. Correspondence should be addressed to him at the Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit, Edith Cavell Hospital, Bretton Gate, Peterborough PE3 9GZ.
