Internvention RCTs Involving Wrist and Shoulder Arthroscopy

Conclusions

This systematic review revealed that the efficacy of arthroscopically performed wrist interventions has been studied in only 4 quasi-randomized studies compared to 50 randomized or quasi-randomized studies of significantly higher quality assessing interventions performed through shoulder arthroscopy. In order to advance evidence-based care of patients with wrist disorders, there is a need for high-quality RCTs designed to assess the efficacy of the procedures currently performed through wrist arthroscopy.
