Diagnostic and operative arthroscopy of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint. A case report. 1985

G L Vaupel, and J R Andrews

Arthroscopy of the knee and shoulder has become a commonly practiced procedure. The availability of specialized arthroscopic instruments (Fig. 1) now makes diagnostic and operative arthroscopies of the smaller joints of the body possible. This is a case where arthroscopy of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint facilitated the care and rehabilitation of a professional athlete.
