There is no significant disadvantage compared to open surgery. Already when we recommend this technique to patients say that there is little harm. We’il tell them they won’t lose anything with this surgery, but we can’t say that in open surgery. Closed surgery in specialist hands is a less damaging procedure.
What are the disadvantages of wrist arthroscopy?
Since it is performed in a narrow space, there is a small risk of damage to intraarticular structures, especially cartilage, in case of lack of experience or attention.
Can anyone perform wrist arthroscopy, are there any inconvenient cases?
There is no limitation to those who can get narcosis and are suitable for indication. The operation can be done to anyone we think is useful. Only advanced arthrosis may not be necessary and may not be performed in cases with very narrow joint space.
