The Risk of Injury in Wrist Arthroscopy Portals: A Cadaveric Study.
Curēus 2023 November
During wrist arthroscopy, the wrist joint can be visualized from almost every perspective through a combination of standard dorsal and volar arthroscopic portals. This cadaveric study aims to compare all wrist portals described in terms of their safety in order to rank them according to the distance from the nearest structure at risk for arthroscopic wrist procedures. Twenty-nine cadaveric formalin-embellished upper limbs were examined. Needles were inserted at dorsal and volar portal sites to perform the measurements. During the subsequent dissection, distances were measured as the shortest possible distance from the nearest structure at risk for each portal. Safe zones were determined for all portals, and the safety classification of arthroscopic wrist portals was proposed, ranking them from the safest to the most perilous. Applying the proposed safety classification to arthroscopic practice, wrist arthroscopy can be performed with a lower risk of iatrogenic complications arising from the implementation of the wrist portals.
