Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
Preoperative advanced imaging is critical to planning	Failing to accurately locate the joint and coalition
Arthroscopic localization of the lunotriquetral interval	Destabilization of the joint by over-resection
Intraoperative fluoroscopy ensures accurate location of resection	Under-resection of the coalition
A side cutting micro-burr allows accurate and controlled resection	Cartilage damage caused by the micro-burr or drill
