Arthroscopy for the diagnosis of post-traumatic wrist pain.
30 patients with post-traumatic wrist pain were investigated by arthroscopy. The clinical findings and type of injury were compared to the pathological morphology seen at arthroscopy. In 21 (70%) of the patients, arthroscopic findings gave a plausible explanation for the symptoms.
