Abstract

The article contains results of surgical treatment of 21 patients with the carpal joint pathology, using arthroscopic technologies. Prevailing were patients with carpal hygromata (9 people – 43 %), 4 patients (19 %) underwent a partial resection of the disk of the triangular fibrocartilage complex, 3 (14 %) had a surgical intervention for a lesion of their scaphosemilunar ligament, 3 (14 %) underwent a removal of free osteochondral bodies and 2 (10 %) had a resection of the styloid process of radius. Of the patients, who underwent carpal arthroscopy, good results were achieved in 18 cases (86 %) and satisfactory in 3 (14 %), this fact confirming a high efficacy of the arthroscopic technologies used.
