Abstract
Wrist arthroscopy is an effective technique for the diagnosis and treatment of intra-articular pathology of the wrist. Thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the wrist is important for accurate portal placement. This chapter provides detailed anatomical illustrations and cadaveric dissections that will help the wrist surgeon create appropriate portals, and step-by-step instructions are provided to help the surgeon perform a safe and successful diagnostic arthroscopy of the wrist.
