AI Article Synopsis
- Accurate restoration of the joint surface is crucial for treating complex distal radius fractures, and wrist joint arthroscopy provides a way to assess intra-articular damage.
- A cadaveric study investigated changes in the positions of vessels and nerves during the distraction needed for arthroscopic portal formation.
- Findings showed that using an external fixator during arthroscopy does not limit manipulation and does not change the anatomical relationships of soft tissues in the wrist.
Article Abstract
In cases of splintered intra-articular distal radius fractures, it is important to accurately restore the joint surface. Wrist joint arthroscopy makes possible accurate assessment of intra-articular damage and reposition quality. The joint gap is to be enlarged for arthroscopy, but this can distort the topographic and anatomical relationships in the wrist joint. We performed a cadaveric study of changes in the topography of vessels and nerves and the risk of their traumatization under conditions of distraction with external fixation apparatus during arthroscopic portals formation. It was experimentally demonstrated that the use of external fixator did not limit the possibility of manipulation under arthroscopic control; distraction does not alter the topographic and anatomical relationships of the soft tissue elements in the wrist joint during arthroscopy.

Introduction: Expression is a key aspect of music performance. Studies on pianists' gestures and expression have mainly documented the impact of their expressive intentions on proximal segments and head linear kinematics. It remains unclear how pianists' expressive intentions influence joint angular kinematics as well as exposure to risk factors of injury, such as poor overall posture and distal jerky movements, two kinematic factors linked to injury.

Wrist arthroscopy presents a significant learning curve, necessitating various precautions to avoid complications like tendon laceration or nerve injury. Arthroscopic procedures become even more challenging in arthritic wrists due to altered anatomy and reduced joint space, which in turn increase the risk of complications. In this review article, we offer tips and tricks to minimize these risks.

Recent advances in small-joint arthroscopy and cutting-edge magnetic resonance imaging systems have enabled orthopedic surgeons to perform more complex repairs of the wrist. Such repairs can include those of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) of the wrist that necessitates a reappraisal of its morphometry with special emphasis on the relationship between its articular disc (AD) and surrounding tissues. The TFCC AD is a fibrocartilaginous, biconcave structure located between the ulnar styloid process and the carpal bones of the wrist.
