Wrist Scope with Debridement is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat issues within the wrist joint. Utilizing an arthroscope (a small camera), the surgeon examines the inside of the wrist for any damage or abnormalities. During the procedure, any damaged tissues, such as inflamed synovium or loose cartilage, are carefully removed or cleaned up (debridement) to improve joint function and alleviate pain. This technique is typically recommended for conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or wrist injuries, offering faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
