Over the last 2 decades, arthroscopy has assumed a greater role in the treatment of disorders of the wrist. The arthroscopic treatment of radioscaphoid arthritis and ulnar hamate impaction provides the benefits of being minimally invasive, with less morbidity, earlier motion, less recovery time, early return to work, and greater patient acceptance. Both procedures are performed easily using standard arthroscopic techniques without any significant learning curve.Long-term studies need to be performed to determine the exact clinical sequelae of excision of the proximal pole of the hamate, specifically on the biomechanics of the triquetrohamate articulation.

Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Oregon Shoulder Institute, Medford, Oregon, USA.
Background: Despite the effectiveness of remplissage in reducing instability recurrence, debate remains about the loss of external rotation (ER) after this procedure.
Purpose: To compare the loss of ER after primary isolated arthroscopic Bankart repair alone (BR), Bankart with remplissage (REMP), and Latarjet (LAT) procedures.
Study Design: Meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 3.

Southern California Orthopedic Institute, Van Nuys, California, USA.
Background: Surgical options for septic arthritis include open arthrotomy or an arthroscopic procedure. The optimal surgical technique remains a matter of debate as acceptable results have been reported for both.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopy versus arthrotomy for the treatment of septic arthritis in large and intermediate-sized joints.
Patient-Reported Outcomes After Arthroscopic Single-Row Rotator Cuff Repair: A Monocentric Retrospective Study at Minimum 12 Years Follow-Up.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Via Rita Levi Montalcini 4, 20072 Pieve Emanuele, Italy.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) is a common procedure, yet long-term patient-centered outcome studies remain limited. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic RCR using a single-row metallic anchor technique over a 12-year follow-up, focusing on patient-reported outcomes and potential risk factors. A monocentric cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent complete arthroscopic RCR with a single-row metallic anchor technique from January 2007 to July 2011.

To evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of arthroscopic augmented partial repair (APR) with acellular dermal matrix versus arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) in massive rotator cuff tears. The study included a total of 49 patients with massive rotator cuff tears who underwent arthroscopic APR (26 patients) and SCR (23 patients) between March 2018 and June 2021. Clinical scores, visual analog scores, and range of motion were collected preoperatively and postoperatively until the last follow-up.
