Introduction

Midcarpal instability is an uncommon but troublesome problem. Patients have loss of dynamic control of the wrist in pronation and ulnar deviation due to laxity of the volar wrist ligaments that is often congenital or due to minor trauma. For those in whom conservative measures fail, open ligament reconstruction or fusions have been described.

Aim

We prospectively studied a series of fourteen patients who underwent arthroscopic thermal capsular shrinkage for midcarpal instability.
