What is a Transaction?

Wrist arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to diagnose and treat problems in the wrist. With this procedure, cartilage damage, tendon injuries and other soft tissue problems in the wrist joint can be detected and treated. Arthroscopy provides precise and effective results in the diagnosis and treatment of wrist problems.

How is it done?

In our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir, problems in the wrist are examined in detail with our advanced diagnostic systems supported by artificial intelligence. During the arthroscopy procedure, local (regional) or general anesthesia is applied while the patient lies in a comfortable position. In the procedure, an arthroscope, a device containing a thin camera and light, is inserted into the wrist joint through a small incision. This device projects images inside the joint onto the screen, allowing the doctor to see the structures inside the joint clearly. If necessary, damaged tissues are repaired or removed using small surgical instruments.
