Wrist Fractures Management With Arthroscopic Assistance Under Walant - Exploratory Study

Wrist articular fractures are more difficult to treat and rehabilitation takes longer. Furthermore, these joint fractures are frequently accompanied by ligament lesions of the carpal bones. For these reasons, it is strongly recommended to check the interior of the wrist joint. This check can be done with wrist arthroscopy. Therefore, fracture reduction can be improved, "step of stairs" can be eliminated under arthroscopic control and ligament rupture of carpal bones can be treated. WALANT anesthesia (Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet) designates a new local anesthesia technique. This technique which allows to maintain the arm or fingers mobility offers several significant advantages: * Greater precision of the surgical procedure. * A reduction in discomfort, risks and related adverse effects to anesthesia. * Faster recovery. WALANT technique is very comfortable for patient and fits perfectly with principles of Enhanced Recovery in Surgery. In this context, this study is based on the hypothesis that it is possible to combine arthroscopy and the WALANT anesthesia technique for reducing wrist fractures
