Basics of Elbow Arthroscopy Part III: Positioning and Diagnostic Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, arthroscopy has gained popularity as a preferred treatment of a multitude of pathologies affecting the elbow. Since its initial description in 1985, many modifications have been made as our knowledge and technology have advanced. Currently, the majority of arthroscopic procedures are performed in either the lateral decubitus or supine suspended position. In this work, we discuss the history, patient positioning, and key steps for performing elbow arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position. In addition to key steps, a number of strengths and limitations of this set up are discussed in detail. When properly executed, elbow arthroscopy can be performed in a safe and efficient manner with minimal risk to patients.

Basics of Elbow Arthroscopy Part II: Positioning and Diagnostic Arthroscopy in the Supine Position.

Project description:The field of elbow arthroscopy has evolved significantly since the procedure was first introduced more than 30 years ago. As our knowledge and understanding grows, numerous technical modifications have been made to improve the safety and efficacy of elbow arthroscopy. One of the most significant modifications is the change from the supine hanging position to the supine-suspended position with the use of a mechanical arm holder. Currently, the supine-suspended and lateral decubitus positions are the 2 most commonly used techniques. In this work, we discuss the history of the supine position, provide key points for proper patient positioning, and detail the steps of diagnostic elbow arthroscopy. It is our hope that this work will serve as an up-to-date review and summary of the most critical components of this procedure for emerging elbow arthroscopists.

Basic Shoulder Arthroscopy: Lateral Decubitus Patient Positioning.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive surgical approach to treat a variety of shoulder pathologies. The patient can be positioned in either the lateral decubitus or the beach chair position. This note and accompanying video describe the operating room setup for shoulder arthroscopy in the lateral decubitus position, including positioning of the arms, head, and sterile preparation and draping. Appropriate lateral decubitus positioning for shoulder arthroscopy with careful attention to detail will promote ease of surgical intervention and minimize complications.

Shoulder Arthroscopy in the Lateral Decubitus Position.

Project description:Arthroscopic shoulder surgery can be performed in both the beach chair and lateral decubitus positions. The lateral decubitus position allows for excellent exposure to all aspects of the glenohumeral joint and is therefore frequently employed in procedures such as stabilization, in which extensive visualization of the inferior and posterior aspects of the joint is required. Improved visualization is imparted due to applied lateral and axial traction on the operative arm, which increases the glenohumeral joint space. To perform arthroscopy surgery in the lateral decubitus position successfully, meticulous care during patient positioning and setup must be taken. In this Technical Note, we describe the steps required to safely, efficiently, and reproducibly perform arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the lateral decubitus position.

An Inexpensive Support for Prone or Lateral Decubitus Elbow Arthroscopy and Open Elbow Surgery.

Project description:An inexpensive and radiolucent elbow can be built with a PVC pipe available at any home center or hardware store for less than $25 that allows elbow arthroscopy or open elbow surgery such as open reductions and internal fixation to be performed in the prone, "sloppy" lateral, or decubitus position.

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.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Elbow Arthroscopy Using Small-Bore Needle Arthroscopy.

Project description:Needle arthroscopy may provide several potential advantages over standard arthroscopy. The smaller camera size and weight allows for a minimally invasive and percutaneous approach with decreased fluid use. As resolution and image quality improve, the potential to expand clinical use for therapeutic applications becomes possible. One promising use is in elbow arthroscopy. Difference in the technology, such as a zero-degree optic and less-rigid instrumentation, necessitate a modified technique to accommodate thorough diagnostic arthroscopy and therapeutic procedures. This manuscript introduces the authors' approach to diagnostic needle arthroscopy of the anterior and posterior elbow compartments and placement of therapeutic instrumentation. This technique could theoretically decrease the risk of iatrogenic neurovascular injuries, reduce postoperative swelling and pain due to decreased fluid use, and potentially lead to faster recovery.

Lateral Decubitus Position for Arthroscopic Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis.

Project description:The purpose of this report is to describe arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis in the lateral decubitus position. Many technique descriptions for this procedure emphasize the beach-chair position to obtain optimal anterior subdeltoid visualization of the relevant anatomy. This is not required and may be less desirable or comfortable for a shoulder arthroscopist who prefers the lateral decubitus position. Therefore, the aim of this report is to show that the relevant anatomy may be readily and safely accessed, and the procedure effectively performed, in the lateral decubitus position.

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.
