Thumb arthroscopy is a safe and effective technique. It’s a reliable procedure that offers the orthopaedic surgeon a chance to directly evaluate the status of the joint. Like the other endoscopic and arthroscopic procedures at OS, the Thumb Arthroscopy is minimally invasive meaning patients are able to start their recovery sooner than the alternatives. By leaving little to no scarring, the surgeon reduces the risk of infection which allows the patient to return to their life quickly and with a minimal amount of discomfort.
