ABSTRACT

The surgical management of wrist arthritis in a young patient requires a detailed understanding of wrist anatomy and thoughtful surgical approach. The carpus can be accessed through open and arthroscopic techniques, allowing both visualization and assessment of volar and dorsal wrist anatomy. The chosen approach is guided by the pathology and exposure required to safely perform the necessary procedures.
