Cited in Scopus: 3Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a well-accepted procedure for the treatment of degenerative lesions of the wrist and advance Kienböck disease. This procedure has been classically described as an open procedure but recently has been reported as an arthroscopic one. Arthroscopic PRC has several advantages such as minimal damage to the dorsal and volar ligaments as well as there being no need to detach the capsule, which can facilitate earlier mobilization and can decrease postoperative stiffness. - Technical NoteOpen Access

Cited in Scopus: 8With advances in surgical instrumentation and techniques, as well as expanding surgical indications, wrist arthroscopy is now being used to treat a variety of conditions previously managed only with open techniques. Triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries remain among the most common causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain and can result from both acute and chronic mechanisms of injury. The most common mechanism of acute injury to the TFCC is a fall onto an outstretched hand with the wrist in a supinated, extended position.
