Abstract

The treatment of flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendon stenosing tenosynovitis recalcitrant to nonsurgical intervention has been open or blind tenovaginotomy of the volar trapezial fibro-osseous sheath of the FCR tendon. The surgical literature has not reported arthroscopic tenovaginotomy of the FCR fibro-osseous tendon sheath with or without associated ganglia. This report describes a technique of arthroscopic tenovaginotomy for stenosing tenosynovitis of the FCR tendon at the trapezial fibro-osseous sheath with or without excision of any associated ganglion through a not previously described new volar radial trapezial arthroscopic portal.
