OCHOA CAZARES, René  e  CHAVEZ SEVILLA, José Antonio. Ulnar impaction. Wafer arthroscopy procedure. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.1, pp.91-95.  Epub 10-Out-2022. ISSN 1870-7203.  https://doi.org/10.35366/103565.

The Wafer procedure is an effective treatment for ulnar impaction syndrome, which decompresses the ulnocarpal junction through a limited open or arthroscopic approach. In comparison with other common decompressive procedures, the wafer procedure does not require bone healing or internal fixation and also provides excellent exposure of the proximal surface of the triangular fibrocartilage complex. Results of the wafer procedure have been good and few complications have been reported. We present the case of a female patient with a diagnosis of ulnar impaction in whom conservative medical treatment has failed and a Wafer arthroscopic procedure was performed with excellent clinical results.

Palavras-chave : Ulnar impaction; triangular fibrocartilage complex; wrist arthroscopy; ulnar shortening osteotomy.
