Basic knee arthroscopy part 2: surface anatomy and portal placement.

ABSTRACT: Knee arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of disorders of the knee. In a series of 4 articles, the basics of knee arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (part 2), surface anatomy and the anterolateral and anteromedial portals are reviewed. Accurate portal placement is critical to both diagnostic and operative arthroscopy. Mastery of the surface anatomy allows accurate and reproducible portal placement.

Basic knee arthroscopy part 3: diagnostic arthroscopy.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of disorders of the knee. In a series of 4 articles, the basics of knee arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (part 3), step-by-step diagnostic arthroscopy is reviewed. Diagnostic arthroscopy is a crucial skill for diagnosing intra-articular disorders of the knee including meniscal, synovial, ligamentous, and articular cartilage pathology. Mastery of the basic diagnostic arthroscopy is a critical tool for orthopaedic surgeons treating disorders of the knee.

Basic knee arthroscopy part 1: patient positioning.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of disorders of the knee. In a series of 4 articles, the basics of knee arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (part 1), patient positioning, tourniquet placement, and draping are reviewed. Meticulous attention to these details allows surgical access to the compartments of the knee. A circumferential leg holder or a lateral post allows the application of varus and valgus forces to open the medial and lateral compartments of the knee.

Basic knee arthroscopy part 4: chondroplasty, meniscectomy, and cruciate ligament evaluation.

Project description:Knee arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of disorders of the knee. In a series of 4 articles, the basics of knee arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (part 4), the basics of operative knee arthroscopy are reviewed including chondroplasty and meniscectomy. Evaluation of the cruciate ligaments is also reviewed. Mastery of these techniques is critical for the treatment of the most common pathology encountered during knee arthroscopy.

Ultrasound-Guided Portal Placement for Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Over the past 2 decades, hip arthroscopy has developed as a surgical technique, with more orthopaedic surgeons attempting to become proficient in performing this surgical procedure as indications and surgical skills evolve. The hip joint presents unique arthroscopic challenges because of its anatomic location, and it can be challenging to safely and confidently establish portal sites. Ultrasound-guided hip arthroscopy portal placement is not yet common practice for orthopaedic surgeons. The potential advantages of ultrasound-guided hip arthroscopy portal placement are the lack of radiation exposure to the patient and operating room personnel, direct visualization of the hip joint and surrounding soft-tissue structures, and lack of bulky fluoroscopic equipment in the operative field. We describe a detailed technique incorporating video examples using ultrasound guidance to establish appropriate portal sites for hip arthroscopy with the aim to improve safety and overall operator competence.

Single Portal Knee Arthroscopy: 2015 Technique Update.

Project description:A technique of single portal knee arthroscopy was reported in 2013. Using a parallel working cannula assembled to the arthroscope cannula, the instruments are passed into the joint in line with the arthroscope. The original technique video in Arthroscopy Techniques shows the use of a 25 mm tube assembly with a parallel portal through which biters and proximally bent cutter instruments are used to perform procedures in the knee. This 2015 technical update shows the current preferred and most versatile method of single portal knee arthroscopy using a parallel locking and rotating hub for passage of biters and double-bend cutters. The video shows adequate completion of a partial meniscectomy using only 1 portal.

Basics of Elbow Arthroscopy Part I: Surface Anatomy, Portals, and Structures at Risk.

Project description:As our knowledge and technology advance, the indications for elbow arthroscopy continue to grow rapidly. During this expansion, a number of new portals have been described and reported using variable nomenclature and location descriptions. Accordingly, a comprehensive review of these portals is warranted. Given the concern for potential iatrogenic injury to surrounding neurovascular structures, a discussion of these critical nerves and vessels is also timely. In this work, we review pertinent surface anatomy; portal nomenclature, locations, and utility; and review distances to the nearest structures at risk.

Dual-Posteromedial Portal Technique for Complex Arthroscopy in the Posterior Knee.

Project description:Arthroscopy in the posterior knee continues to improve as new techniques arise. Traditionally, posterior techniques included posteromedial and posterolateral portals. Although frequently used, these techniques do have some limitations. We propose the use of dual posteromedial portals for complex arthroscopy cases to improve access and instrumentation in the posterior knee. Applications include, but are not limited to, resection of tumors or masses in the posterior knee, meniscal posterior horn repair, ramp lesion repair, repair of posterior cruciate ligament avulsions, and use as accessory portals for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We describe a technique for establishing dual posteromedial portals for complex arthroscopy in the posterior knee, specifically in relation to a case of a posterior knee mass biopsy and resection.

Basic Hip Arthroscopy: Diagnostic Hip Arthroscopy.

Project description:Hip arthroscopy is increasing in popularity for the diagnosis and management of hip preservation. The basics of hip arthroscopy positioning, fluoroscopic assessment, and portal establishment are reviewed in the first 2 parts of this series. This article is the third installment in which we describe a systematic approach to performing a diagnostic hip arthroscopy. A mastery of diagnostic arthroscopy is necessary for surgeons treating hip disorders.

Intra-articular Fluid Distension for Initial Portal Placement During Hip Arthroscopy: The "Femoral Head Drop" Technique.

Project description:Iatrogenic injury is a known complication of initial portal placement during hip arthroscopy. The rate of labral puncture or damage to the articular surfaces with arthroscopic instruments is variable and may be associated with operator inexperience or complex anatomy. In addition, the amount of traction applied to achieve joint distraction may unnecessarily place patients at risk of neurapraxia. The purpose of this article is to describe the "femoral head drop" technique as a method to increase safe access to the central compartment and minimize the amount of traction needed to do so, especially in patients with challenging bony anatomy. This technique uses the application of intra-articular saline solution to cause inferior migration of the femoral head. Intra-articular fluid distension, or the femoral head drop technique, is simple, safe, and reproducible, making it appropriate for hip arthroscopists at any level of experience.

Modified Surgical Technique of Making Posteromedial Portal in Knee Arthroscopy Using a Radiofrequency Device.

Project description:In knee arthroscopy, a posteromedial portal is used for various indications including arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture fixation, posterior medial meniscal repair, medial ramp lesion repair, and synovectomy. Making the posteromedial portal is challenging for young and even experienced surgeons. Creating the posteromedial portal in knee arthroscopy is challenging and technically demanding for surgeons because of the thick muscular cover, proximity of the neurovascular bundle, tenacious tough capsule, and excessive fat deposition in the posteromedial knee and thigh region. Access for viewing the posteromedial compartment during different procedures is made simple, safe, and replicable with this technique of creating the posteromedial portal. This article describes a simple way to create the posteromedial portal using a radiofrequency device by a modified outside-in surgical technique.
