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.

For a tear in the lunotriquetral ligament, arthroscopic debridement is the prime treatment with a loss or reduction of symptoms of 78-100%. 28 to 58% of the dorsal ganglia resolve spontaneously, still some patients choose to undergo cosmetic intervention for resection of the ganglion when non-operative treatment failed. Some examples of this non-operative treatment are immobilization through a splint or
