5 Foreword It is a great pleasure to introduce this techniques book and accompanying DVD on arthroscopic surgery of the wrist. Dr. William B. Geissler, uniquely qualified to address the diagnosis and treatment of wrist disorders, has devoted himself to teaching others the advantages and techniques of applying minimally invasive surgical approaches to this complex joint. He has assembled an impressive team of accomplished contributors; thus the reader will find it enjoyable, informative and particularly thorough as a reference for hand surgery. Dr. Geissler has organized the text and DVD to the practitioner s advantage. Arthroscopic anatomy is discussed in detail. Specific diagnoses are addressed separately throughout. Newer technologies such as laser energy and electrothermal devices are addressed to illuminate their potential application in the wrist. Arthroscopy has provided new, minimally invasive access to smaller joints as well. The distal radioulnar joint of the wrist and even the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb can now be evaluated and surgically treated in many cases by arthroscopy. For those who are looking to master the newer surgical approaches to the hand and wrist, or for those seeking guidance for a specific surgical procedure for the wrist, this book, with an accompanying DVD, constitutes an excellent source. It surely represents the current state of the art for arthroscopic surgery of the wrist. Terry L. Whipple, MD, FACS v

6 Preface Arthroscopy has revolutionized the practice of orthopedics by providing the technical capability to examine and treat intra-articular abnormalities directly. The development of wrist arthroscopy was a natural evolutionary progression from the successful application of arthroscopy to other, larger joints. The wrist is a labyrinth of eight carpal bones and multiple articular surfaces, with both intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments and a triangular fibrocartilage complex all within a 5-cm interval. This perplexing joint continues to challenge clinicians with an array of potential diagnoses and treatments. Wrist arthroscopy has significantly advanced our knowledge and understanding of this complex joint. This is an exciting time in the field; there has been considerable growth since pioneers, such as Terry L. Whipple, MD, Gary Poehling, MD, and A. Lee Osterman, MD, reported their original descriptions of the techniques they developed from reviewing the anatomy of the wrist. The indications and techniques for wrist arthroscopy have continued to expand since Terry L. Whipple wrote his original textbook on arthroscopic surgery of the wrist approximately 12 years ago. Much has changed as more surgeons have been exposed to wrist arthroscopy and have contributed to the field, and as arthroscopy has been applied to the thumb and smaller joint areas of the hand. This is truly an international text. Recognized experts from around the world have contributed their latest techniques and advances in wrist arthroscopy. These authors describe their arthroscopic techniques in detail and include tips and tricks to make the procedure easier for all of us to perform. This book and DVD contain updates on commonly performed wrist arthroscopy procedures, such as debridement of tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and management of carpal instability and distal radius fractures. It also includes the very latest descriptions of arthroscopic management of acute scaphoid fractures and selected nonunions, including arthroscopic bone grafting, arthroscopic excision of both volar and dorsal wrist ganglia, new techniques in arthroscopic repair of peripheral TFCC tears, and the application of arthroscopy and debridement to arthrofibrosis of the wrist. This book, with an accompanying DVD is intended for the surgeon who is just beginning to develop an interest in wrist arthroscopy, as well as for the experienced arthroscopist who wants to refresh his memory before performing a specific arthroscopic procedure. Subjects for the beginner include how to evaluate the painful wrist; when to order imaging studies and which studies are appropriate; understanding the complexities and mechanics of carpal instability; and general arthroscopic anatomy and setup. Complex topics such as arthroscopic proximal carpectomy, electrothermal shrinkage, and arthroscopy of the thumb carpometacarpal joints and the small joints of the hand are discussed in detail for the wrist arthroscopy expert. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to acknowledge a number of those who have contributed to this textbook. First, I would like to thank Terry L. Whipple, MD, who initially exposed me to the techniques of wrist arthroscopy. He demonstrated to me how precise and delicate arthroscopic surgery of the wrist is expertly performed. Next, thanks to Alan E. Freeland, MD, my mentor, friend, and colleague, who continues to invii

7 viii PREFACE struct me in hand surgery and guide my career. Thanks also to Janis Freeland, RN, my nurse, and Tammy Chamblee, her assistant, who really run the show; Susan Fleming, who tirelessly works to keep things organized for me; Patti Corder, RN, Margie Ross, RN, Tracy Wall, RN, and Macy Gunter, ORT, and the other surgical nurses at the Methodist Rehabilitation Center and University Medical Center, who work long hours in the operating room. I also very much want to thank Merry Post for her excellent command of the English language and her constant, gentle reminders to finish the textbook onward and upward. Thank you to Susan and Rachel Leigh, who have taught me strength and courage and every once in a while to take time to stop and smell the roses. Special thanks go to Stryker Endoscopy and Acumed Corporation for their generous support for the DVD. Most of all, I want to thank my national and international experts for sharing their latest techniques with us so that we all may continue to advance in the field of wrist arthroscopy. William B. Geissler, MD
