This study describes current trends in the skill acquisition and practice patterns for wrist arthroscopy among upper extremity surgeons. A survey was sent to the membership of the American Association for Hand Surgery (AAHS). A total of 104 responses were available for analysis. Of those respondents who did not use wrist arthroscopy, lack of educational training was cited as the most common reason. Of those who did use arthroscopy, fellowship training was credited as the primary source. However, most of those who completed an instructional course felt immediately able to perform arthroscopy. Triangular fibrocartilage complex tears were recorded as the most common indication. Surgeons frequently evaluated the midcarpal joint, but did not frequently use arthroscopy for distal radio-ulnar joint or carpometacarpal joint pathology. Ultimately, this highlights an area of improvement for residency and fellowship education. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]

本研究描述了上肢外科医生腕关节镜检查技能获取和实践模式的当前趋势。一项调查已发送给美国手外科协会 (AAHS) 的会员。共有 104 个响应可供分析。在未使用腕关节镜检查的受访者中，缺乏教育培训被认为是最常见的原因。在那些确实使用关节镜检查的人中，奖学金培训被认为是主要来源。然而，大多数完成教学课程的人都觉得能够立即进行关节镜检查。三角纤维软骨复合体撕裂被记录为最常见的适应症。外科医生经常评估腕中关节，但不经常使用关节镜检查远端桡尺关节或腕掌关节病变。最终，这突出了居住和奖学金教育的改进领域。[骨科。202x;4x(x):xx–xx.]
