Arthroscopy of the wrist in athletes.
Athletes are prone to a variety of pathologic conditions of the wrist. Wrist arthroscopy has become an effective tool in the diagnosis and treatment of athletes with wrist problems. Because it is minimally invasive, wrist arthroscopy often allows early return to training and competition. This article discusses the causes of wrist problems in athletes, their classification, the portals, and the intra-articular anatomy in the context of arthroscopic intervention.
