Abstract
A deep knowledge of surface anatomy is mandatory for the correct placement of arthroscopic wrist portals. But not only that, after portal placement, classic wrist anatomy is visualized through the arthroscope. Specific knowledge of the arthroscopic anatomy will be a very useful tool for the surgeon aiming to address wrist pathology through an arthroscopic approach. Both of these subjects are addressed in this chapter
