Minimally Invasive Solutions for Wrist Issues

Wrist pain and mobility issues can severely impact daily activities, from writing to lifting objects. When traditional diagnostic or treatment methods fall short, wrist arthroscopy offers a revolutionary solution. This minimally invasive procedure allows for precise diagnosis and treatment of various wrist conditions with minimal scarring and faster recovery times.

At our clinic, Dr. Gaurav Pagare, a globally trained hand and wrist surgeon, provides advanced wrist arthroscopy using cutting-edge tools and techniques. With his expertise, patients benefit from accurate diagnoses, targeted treatments, and improved outcomes.

What is Wrist Arthroscopy?

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat wrist problems. The camera provides a magnified view of the joint, allowing the surgeon to perform precise interventions through tiny incisions.

This technique is ideal for addressing complex wrist conditions while ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Conditions Treated with Wrist Arthroscopy

Ligament Injuries:

  • Tears or sprains in the wrist ligaments that cause pain and instability.

Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) Tears:

  • A common cause of wrist pain, especially after trauma.

Wrist Arthritis:

  • Early-stage arthritis treated by smoothing or removing damaged cartilage.

Ganglion Cysts:

  • Removal of fluid-filled sacs that form on the wrist joint.

Wrist Fractures:

  • Arthroscopy assists in precise reduction and fixation of fractures.

Chronic Wrist Pain:

  • Diagnosis and treatment of persistent pain caused by undetected injuries or conditions.
