The extensor carpi ulnaris tendon is located in an extra-articular position, and as such, cannot be seen during arthroscopy. Wrist arthroscopy is a useful technique for evaluation and treatment of radiocarpal and midcarpal maladies. During standard radiocarpal arthroscopy, the scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments can be easily visualized. The superficial TFCC is seen overlying the ulnar head. Volarly, the radioscaphocapitate ligament can be seen as a discrete band of the capsule.
