The development of radioscapholunar osteoarthritis after a distal radius joint fracture is a challenge, especially when it is addressed to young patients who want to maintain some wrist mobility. Classically, radioscapholunar arthrodesis is performed by an open longitudinal approach of more than 10 cm on the dorsal surface, largely exposing the midcarpal level. Wrist arthroscopy has already shown its effectiveness in preserving joint mobility compared to open procedures. Performing this arthroscopic procedure minimizes the "aggression" of the joint and hypothetically provides better mobility. This article details the surgical technique for performing radioscapholunar arthrodesis arthroscopically.
