After considering the anatomy of the wrist, the technical requirements for wrist arthroscopy are discussed. This method is used as an additional diagnostic procedure and staging procedure as well as a therapeutic technique. Complications, which are rare, most commonly involve nerve irritation, damage to cutaneous nerves and extensor tendons. Lose bodies can be removed arthroscopically, however, arthroscopically assisted fracture treatment or the removal of ganglions are uncommon. Approaches are lateral and oriented on the extensor tendons or other anatomical landmarks. Arthroscopy is especially useful by carpal instability as it offers many possibilities, not only diagnostically but also therapeutically.

THE PROBLEM: Irreversible cartilaginous damage to the femur and tibia due to resection and suture instruments in arthroscopic surgery at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus in narrow knee joints or in the presence of contracted medial capsuloligamentous structures. THE SOLUTION: Enlargement of the medial joint space by repeated percutaneous perforation of the posteromedial capsuloligamentous structures under consistently applied valgus stress. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: With the knee joint almost in full extension and with simultaneous, uniformly applied valgus stress, repeated percutaneous perforation of the posteromedial capsuloligamentous structures with a sharp-tipped cannula until perceptible enlargement of the medial joint compartment is achieved. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT AND RESULT: Uneventful healing of the posteromedial capsuloligamentous structures without the need for any special postoperative treatments.
