What injuries can be treated with arthroscopic surgery?

The specialists at Centro Médico Teknon perform various arthroscopic procedures, such as:

• Treatment of synovial cysts. Synovial cysts are small benign tumours of unknown cause that usually appear next to the tendons of the wrist joint, typically on the back of the hand.
• Treatment of osteoarthritis of the wrist and thumb. Pain and loss of strength in the joint are the main concerns for patients with osteoarthritis of the wrist and thumb. In the early stages, we can treat it successfully and even definitively, or at least slow down its progression. In advanced cases of osteoarthritis, it is usually necessary to fit a prosthesis through open surgery.
• Treatment of wrist ligament injuries. Wrist arthroscopy allows us to obtain accurate diagnoses of wrist ligament injuries and treat them in a minimally invasive manner while ensuring effectiveness
• Treatment of wrist fractures and sequelae of wrist fractures. In hand and wrist fractures, it is important to provide appropriate treatment to prevent joint deformities that will eventually develop into osteoarthritis. Arthroscopy allows us to correct deformities that are otherwise untreatable.
