Wrist Conditions

The wrist is a complex joint that consists of multiple bones and joints. Many ligaments are connected to these bones which enables us to use our hands with full strength and scope of motion.

When a person suffers from a wrist injury, receiving the right treatment at the right time is very important. Wrist arthroscopy is a wrist surgery that lets a doctor see the core of a joint. It is performed when a patient sustains an injury like a fall or a twisting of the wrist and experiences pain, clicks, or swelling in the wrist.
