Wrist arthroscopy pain after conservative therapy. Another possibility to carry out a diagnostic wrist arthroscopy is when other imaging techniques need confirmation on observed uncertainties or when other imaging techniques failed to establish a clear diagnosis. This makes arthroscopy an important diagnostic tool for some common anomalies around the wrist. Several indications for performing a therapeutic wrist arthroscopy exist. The TFCC-lesion, SL-lesion, LT-lesion, the Dorsal Ganglion and the Distal radius fracture shows what the possibilities are with wrist arthroscopy. Wrist arthroscopy Wrist arthroscopy (from the Greek άρθρωση, "arthros" "joint" and σκοπεῖν, "skopein" "to look or see") can be used to look inside
Arthroscopy during the 1970s and 1980s. Arthroscopy surgical skills have been traditionally taught in cadaver labs, although the progression to in vivo operations varies from country to country. The International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) holds a list of approved courses for gaining surgical skills. A new teaching technique uses medical simulation as an alternative to cadaver training. High fidelity simulators range from those that use real surgical tools and passive haptics, such as VirtaMed's ArthroS™, to those that rely on active haptic feedback, such as the Arthro Mentor™ from Simbionix. When studied, passive haptics have
