Dr. Alejandro Badia presents wrist arthroscopy with repair of cartilage. This video illustrates an arthroscopic repair of a torn triangular fibrocartilage which is a structure similar to the knee meniscus but in the wrist. This minimally invasive surgery was performed on a tennis player with chronic wrist pain. Healing of repair requires five weeks in a cast followed by therapy and return to play at 4 months.
