What is Wrist Arthroscopy?

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various wrist joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.

The wrist is a complex joint made up of multiple small bones, ligaments, and cartilage structures that allow a wide range of motion. Injuries or degenerative conditions can lead to pain, instability, and reduced function.

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced wrist arthroscopy using high-definition visualization to accurately identify and treat joint issues such as ligament tears, cartilage damage, and inflammation.

This technique allows for precise treatment with minimal tissue damage, resulting in faster recovery, less pain, and improved outcomes compared to traditional open surgery.
