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.
