title: Wrist arthroscopy.
abstract: Miniaturization of arthroscopic equipment has allowed wrist arthroscopy to emerge as a powerful surgical tool in orthopedic surgery. The magnified view of the arthroscope has provided a new understanding of carpal anatomy and disease. Arthroscopy improves surgeons' ability to diagnose wrist disorders and enables them to perform operative procedures with less morbidity than would occur in open procedures.
