Abstract
Purpose
To analyze the findings of midcarpal and radiocarpal arthroscopic examinations in the diagnosis of wrist trauma and pathology focusing on interosseous ligament laxity.
Materials and Methods
Forty-one midcarpal arthroscopic examinations were performed in conjunction with radiocarpal arthroscopic examinations. Thirty-one wrists with distal radius fracture and ten wrists with triangular fibrocartilage complex tear were included. Scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligament laxity was graded by using the Geissler classification and radiocarpal and midcarpal arthroscopic findings were compared.
