This procedure uses a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions in the wrist to place hardware, such as pins or screws, that stabilizes a fracture or unstable bone alignment. It allows the surgeon to fix the injury with less disruption to the surrounding tissue than a fully open surgery. It is typically used for certain wrist fractures or ligament injuries affecting joint stability.
