The wrist is one of the most complex joints in the human body, allowing a wide range of movements required for daily activities, sports and professional work. Injuries or damage to the wrist can significantly affect hand function, grip strength and quality of life.
When wrist pain persists despite medications, physiotherapy or other conservative treatments, wrist arthroscopy may provide an effective solution. Wrist arthroscopy is a modern minimally invasive procedure that allows accurate diagnosis and treatment of many wrist conditions through tiny incisions.
At London Orthopaedic Clinic, Nagpur, Dr. Vishal Sahni provides advanced wrist arthroscopy treatment using modern surgical techniques focused on pain relief, restoration of function and faster recovery.
Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive keyhole surgical procedure used to examine, diagnose and treat problems inside the wrist joint.
A tiny camera called an arthroscope is inserted through small incisions around the wrist. The camera provides a magnified view of the joint structures, allowing the surgeon to identify damaged ligaments, cartilage injuries, inflammation and other abnormalities.
Specialized instruments are then used to perform treatment without the need for large surgical incisions.
Compared to traditional open surgery, wrist arthroscopy generally results in less pain, smaller scars and quicker recovery.
