Project description:Routine portal placement for the central compartment should be based on minimizing iatrogenic injury and maximizing access. Anchor placement for labral repair/refixation requires a more distal entry position to accomplish sufficient divergence to avoid perforating the articular surface of the acetabulum. If a standard portal for joint access is moved more distal, this can compromise its utility for addressing intra-articular pathology. In addition, it can be difficult to position this portal sufficiently distally to ensure adequate divergence. Moving the anchor away from the rim to avoid perforation, due to suboptimal portal placement, can result in nonanatomic labral repair. Thus a percutaneous anchor delivery system is advantageous in ensuring adequate divergence without compromising routine portal placement for the central compartment.

Project description:The modified mid-anterior portal is a utilitarian hip arthroscopy working portal that permits dual-portal comprehensive surgery for femoroacetabular impingement and related chondrolabral procedures without the need for interportal exchange. Its distal location facilitates labral reparative and reconstructive procedures while minimizing iatrogenic acetabular chondral damage. The relatively lateral location permits instrument navigation not only along the anterosuperior acetabular rim and anterolateral proximal femur typically required for acetabuloplasty and femoroplasty but even to the posterior regions of the hip in cases of global pincer femoroacetabular impingement and posterior extensions of cam morphology and the anteromedial proximal femur while avoiding direct injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.

Project description:This article describes the removal of a scapular osteophyte from the subscapular space by scapulothoracic arthroscopy. The endoscopic technique allows a gentle approach to the subscapular space without causing a large amount of surgical trauma and therefore leads to good cosmetic and functional results.

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.

Project description:BackgroundThe anterocentral portal is not a standard portal in anterior ankle arthroscopy due to its proximity to the anterior neurovascular bundle. However, it provides certain advantages, including a wide field of vision, and portal changes become redundant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neurovascular complications after anterior ankle arthroscopy using the anterocentral portal.MethodsWe retrospectively identified patients who had undergone anterior ankle arthroscopy with an anterocentral portal at our institution from 2013 to 2018. Medical record data were reviewed and patients were invited for clinical follow-up, where a clinical examination, quantitative sensory testing for the deep peroneal nerve, and ultrasonography of the structures at risk were performed. A total of 101 patients (105 arthroscopies) were identified and evaluated at a mean follow-up of 31.5 ± 17.7 months.ResultsLeading indications to surgery were heterogeneous and included anterior impingement (48.6%), osteochondral lesions of the talus (24.8%), chronic ankle instability (14.3%), and fractures (8.6%). The overall complication rate was 7.6%, and no major complications were observed. In 1.9% (2/105) of the cases, the complications were associated with the anterocentral portal and included injury to the medial branch of the superficial nerve (1/105) and to the deep peroneal nerve (1/105). Injury to the deep peroneal nerve was associated with a loss of detection and nociception. There were no injuries to the anterior tibial artery. In 41.9% (44/105) of the cases, only 1 working portal was used in addition to the anterocentral portal, and in 19% (20/105) the anterolateral portal could be avoided. Ultrasonography confirmed the integrity of the deep peroneal nerve, the medial branch of the superficial peroneal nerve, and the anterior tibial artery in all patients. Patients with nerve injuries associated with the anterocentral portal showed no signs of neuroma or pseudoaneurysm.ConclusionUsing a standardized technique, the anterocentral portal in ankle arthroscopy is safe with a low number of neurovascular injuries and can be recommended as a standard portal. The anterolateral portal remains associated with a high number of injuries to the superficial peroneal nerve.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective cohort study.

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.

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.

Project description:Shoulder arthroscopy is traditionally performed with the patient in either the beach chair position or the lateral decubitus position. Each position has its advantages and disadvantages. The main topics for consideration include ease of surgery, view into the surgical field, risks to the patient, and economics of the setup. In the lateral decubitus position, it is inconvenient to work through the anterior portal and it is difficult to convert to an open procedure. In the beach chair position, it is difficult to manage the airway and cerebral oxygenation and the patient's head and the beach chair frame obstruct the insertion of a scope into the superior and posterior portals. This technical note presents the supine position for shoulder arthroscopic surgery. The supine position does not have the disadvantages of the traditional positions. In addition, it is comparatively easy to set up and comfortable for the patient.

Project description:A new technique of single-portal arthroscopy using new instrumentation for arthroscopic knee surgery is reported. The procedure is intended for "targeted" surgery to address limited pathology. The arthroscope, cutters, and biters are all introduced into the joint through 1 portal. The technique is generally applicable to knee arthroscopy for isolated conditions and potentially useful in treating other joints. A 2.9-mm-diameter, light-sensitive, high-definition, 20-cm-long arthroscope is inserted through a 4.6-mm cannula. This arthroscope-cannula combination yields fluid flow mechanics similar to a standard 4-mm arthroscope in a 5.8-mm cannula. A Parallel Portal Cannula (PPC) (Stryker Endoscopy) is applied to the arthroscope cannula, producing a "double-barrel" system for entry into the joint. The PPC allows for sliding and rotational freedom along the axis of the arthroscope cannula but also locks in place once a desired position is achieved. PPC devices are available in zero-length, short (25-mm), and long (55-mm) sizes. Cutters that are bent in the mid shaft are available in 3.5- and 4-mm diameters. The instrumentation system allows both viewing with the arthroscope and passage of working cutters and biters through a single 9- to 10-mm portal. Potential advantages of single-portal arthroscopy include decreased patient morbidity and recovery time while still allowing for adequate treatment of limited knee pathology.
