Ultrasound-guided Wrist Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a surgical treatment that is used to detect and treat joint disorders. Arthroscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny fibre-optic tool called an arthroscope to see inside a joint without making any significant incisions into tissue or muscle.

Indeed, Ultrasound Scanner allows for clear and real-time visualization of the needles during their whole path.

Surgeons frequently employ a 13 MHz high-frequency linear probe such as Mini Linear Handheld WiFi Ultrasound Scanner MLCD to combine the complementary properties of sonography and arthroscopy in order to make arthroscopic excision of wrist ganglions a safer and more reliable procedure.

From decreasing puncture problems to improving patient satisfaction, the MLCD Ultrasound Scanner offers several advantages. Doctors and experts in basic and secondary care can use this equipment to master joint injections and musculoskeletal conditions. As a result, needle placement in all bodily joints, including the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, foot, hand, and wrist, will be more precise.

The ultrasound aids the clinician in ensuring that the arthroscopic shaver is directed at the ganglion cyst rather than an artery, nerve, or tendon.

Both the ultrasound and arthroscopy indicate full excision of the stalk and the construction of the shunt between the ganglion cyst and the joint at the completion of the surgical procedure.

MLCD ‘s needle-guided advantage enables real-time guidance to regulate the needle insertion path, depth, or angle without danger of harming neighbouring structures.

Ultrasound-guided wrist arthroscopy offers surgeons numerous benefits, including the ability to visualize the ganglions and ganglion stalk, as well as the arthroscopic shaver and surrounding structures such as nerves, arteries, and tendons, allowing them to perform surgery safely.
