Abstract
Articular cartilage lesions in the wrist are common. Diagnosis of these les ions is difficult, and the decision to operate may not be clear. A meticulo us history and physical examination allows an accurate diagnosis. Appropria te surgical intervention can be useful in alleviating symptoms and returnin g the patient to normal activities. The origin, diagnosis, and treatment of cartilaginous lesions of the wrist are discussed in this article.
