Abstract
A new triaradiate skin incision is presented as an approach to the wrist. Centred over Lister’s tubercle, it consists of one longitudinal proximal and two oblique distal rays, making three 120° skin flaps. These provide an excellent triangular operating field to the distal radius, the radio-carpal joint and the carpus itself, allowing for most procedures in this region. There have been no complications in 32 patients, and the cosmetic appearance has been excellent in most of them.
