Wrist pain can be improved by minimally invasive surgery.
Mr. Liu, a 26-year-old, sprained his right wrist at work, which caused persistent pain in his wrist and limited his activities. He had wrist protection, but after three months' rest, his symptoms still didn't improve. Further magnetic resonance imaging showed that the triangular fibrocartilage of his right wrist was broken. After minimally invasive arthroscopic repair of triangular fibrocartilage, the wrist pain was obviously improved, the function was basically normal, and the daily life and work were gradually restored. Hand and wrist injuries caused by occupational labor can be as high as 30%. The functions of hands and wrists are very important for daily life, from brushing your teeth and washing your face, dressing and eating, to working to support your family. However, the wrist joint and its affiliated tissues are easy to be injured by daily accidental impact, and may also hurt the triangular fibrocartilage in the wrist joint, resulting in wrist joint pain and loss of function. According to foreign related literature, occupational labor causes hand and wrist injuries. Hong Zhijian, an orthopedic surgeon at Yunlin Branch of National Taiwan University Hospital, said that the instruments and techniques of minimally invasive wrist arthroscopy surgery are smaller than traditional surgery, and only a few small wounds of 0.5 ~ 1 cm are needed to complete and provide health insurance. Minimally invasive surgery has the advantages of less tissue damage, faster tissue healing and earlier recovery of wrist function and quality of life. Dr. Hong Zhijian pointed out that there are many common wrist diseases and injuries, such as wrist tendon sheath cyst, synovitis, triangular fibrocartilage injury, wrist joint degeneration, traumatic arthritis, ulnar entrapment syndrome, carpal scaphoid fracture and so on. After proper diagnosis and treatment, it can be treated by wrist arthroscopy.
