The mini vent technique: a simple method to facilitate accurate secondary portal placement in shoulder arthroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate portal placement is crucial in diagnostic and therapeutic shoulder arthroscopy. However, knowledge of anatomy and surgical principles may not be enough. Placement of a second portal is often hindered by a small amount of bleeding. Our technique easily rectifies this frequent problem by using a simple mini-vent.

Comparison of accuracy of anterior and superomedial approaches to shoulder injection: an experimental study
INTRODUCTION We aimed to compare the accuracy between the standard anterior technique of shoulder injection and the new superomedial technique modified from Neviaser arthroscopic portal placement. Intra-articular placement, especially at the long head of biceps (LHB) tendon, and needle depth were evaluated. METHODS Fifty-eight patients (ages 57 ± 10 years) requiring shoulder arthroscopy in th...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm after arthroscopic subacromial decompression and distal clavicle excision.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is considered a safe and effective method of treating a variety of shoulder pathologies and is associated with a low complication rate. The type and rate of complications can vary, depending on the procedure, positioning, surgical time, and anesthesia. Fortunately, neurovascular injuries occur infrequently. Numerous studies have described the proximity of neurovasc...
متن کاملSimplified arthroscopic rotator interval capsule closure: an alternative technique.
The anatomy of the "coracoid eclipse" of the rotator cuff, the rotator interval, has been studied extensively. Its importance in shoulder stability with respect to inferior and posterior translation has been described. Historically, open repairs for instability indirectly addressed interval lesions and closure based simply on the definition of the deltopectoral approach with its subscapularis a...
متن کاملNeedle guide in shoulder arthroscopy – a technique
Distension of joint with fluid is often used to facilitate insertion of arthroscope. This may prove difficult at times in the shoulder joint, as unlike the knee, it is deeply situated, making extravasation of fluid outside the capsule, a common occurrence. This is especially true in very tight joints and is often a problem for beginners. We describe here a very effective and simple technique wh...
متن کاملInside-Out Trans-Arthroscopic Drain Application During Knee Joint Arthroscopy.
Although knee joint arthroscopy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide, there is no consensus on how to apply a drain in the joint if it is decided to use one. Therefore we describe a simple technique to safely apply a drain intra-articularly under full arthroscopic control, avoiding placement of the drain through the arthroscopic portal.
