Diagnostic Needle Arthroscopy and Partial Medial Meniscectomy Using Small Bore Needle Arthroscopy.


ABSTRACT: As resolution and image quality improve, several potential advantages make needle arthroscopy (NA) appealing for broader therapeutic applications in the operating room. The smaller camera size and weight allow for a minimally invasive approach with smaller incisions than standard arthroscopy and decreased arthroscopic fluid use. Differences in the technology, such as a 0-degree optic and less rigid instrumentation necessitate a novel technique to accommodate thorough diagnostic arthroscopy as well as new approaches to therapeutic procedures. This manuscript introduces our preferred approach to diagnostic arthroscopy and partial medial meniscectomy with NA and small-bore instruments. The minimally invasive nature of this technology may decrease postoperative pain and improve return of comfort and function.
