Abstract

Since the 1990s, new insights in wrist arthroscopy have led to the introduction of numerous treatment methods. Consequently, therapeutic procedures are no longer limited to resection as more specialized repair and functional reconstruction methods, involving tissue replacement and essential structural augmentation, have been shown to be beneficial. This article discusses the most prevalent reasons and uses for wrist arthroscopy, with an emphasis on Indonesia’s most recent and major advances in reconstructive arthroscopic surgery. Joint debridement, synovectomy, ganglionectomy, capsular release, and osteotomies are frequent resection operations. Ligament repair and arthroscopy-aided reduction and fixation for fractures and nonunion are all examples of reconstructive surgery.

Core Tip: Several novel procedures with specific surgical indications have been developed over the past 15 years. More difficult and precise procedures can now be performed with fewer complications as both techniques and instrumentation improve. Debridement and resection are no longer the only therapeutic treatment available. Functional reconstruction treatments involving the repair of tissue defects and augmentation of important structures with graft material as well as more particular anatomical structure fixing procedures have been performed with established clinical benefit. This article covers current arthroscopic techniques used in clinical practice in Indonesia, some of which represent cutting-edge breakthroughs in therapeutic arthroscopy.
