Short-term result of arthroscopic synovial excision for dorsal wrist pain in hyperextension associated with synovial hypertrophy

When treating patients with dorsal wrist pain, dorsal wrist impingement caused by synovial hypertrophy should be included in the differential diagnosis. Arthroscopic excision of the impinging synovium can achieve reliable pain relief with significant functional improvement in the short term, although further research on its long-term benefits is required.
