Advances in Wrist Arthroscopy: From Diagnosis to Reconstruction

Dear Colleagues,

Wrist arthroscopy has rapidly evolved from a diagnostic adjunct to a cornerstone of wrist surgery, offering unparalleled visualization and minimally invasive management of complex pathologies. Its applications extend from TFCC tears and intra-articular fractures to ligament reconstruction, cartilage repair, and arthroscopic treatment of degenerative wrist conditions. This Special Issue aims to compile original clinical studies, technical notes, and reviews focusing on advances in arthroscopic techniques, outcomes, and indications. Submissions exploring arthroscopy-assisted fixation, scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligament reconstructions, the arthroscopic management of distal radius fractures, and early-stage arthritic conditions are particularly encouraged. By integrating contributions from experienced surgeons and researchers, this Special Issue seeks to define the current state of the art, standardize outcome reporting, and highlight future perspectives in wrist arthroscopy and minimally invasive wrist surgery.
