Computer assisted surgical anatomy mapping (CASAM) of the distal Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) and its relation to the wrist arthroscopy portals: A cadaver study.

Introduction: The distal Posterior Interosseous Nerve (PIN) plays an important part in the sensory innervation of the wrist joint. Introduction of the arthroscopy portals during wrist arthroscopy might injure the PIN. The anatomic variation in the trajectory of the PIN and the proximity to the dorsal arthroscopy portals have not yet been fully explored.

Masquelet Procedure for the Treatment of Intra-articular Defects of the Wrist.

 The purpose of this case series is to show our experiences with the Masquelet procedure in a variety of infected defects of the wrist.  All consecutive patients that were treated between 2015 and 2021 were included in this case series. Five patients were included with an infected defect of the wrist, involving the radiocarpal and/or the distal radioulnar joints (DRUJ).

Arthroscopic synovectomy versus intra-articular injection of corticosteroids for the management of refractory psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis of the wrist: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (ARCTIC trial).

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are inflammatory diseases that often affect the wrist and, when affected, can lead to impaired wrist function and progressive joint destruction if inadequately treated. Standard care consists primarily of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), often supported by systemic corticosteroids or intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACSI). IACSI, despite their use worldwide, show poor response in a substantial group of patients.

[Arthroscopy of the wrist].

Arthroscopy of the wrist has gained popularity among hand and wrist surgeons for diagnosing and treating wrist pathologies. In general, it is a minimally-invasive procedure which can be performed in day care surgery. It has a higher diagnostic accuracy compared to conventional imaging modalities such as CT or MRI.
