Arthroscopic Soft Tissue Releases of the Knee
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intra-articular fibrosis, which includes a family of disorders such as anterior interval scarring, posterior capsular contracture, a tight lateral retinaculum, as well as arthrofibrosis, may lead to alterations in joint biomechanics and can result in pain. 1, 2, 3 Specific releases for each region of fibrosis, along with characteristic physical examination findings, have been described. Familiarity with the diagnosis and arthroscopic treatment of these disorders may lead to improved treatment outcomes in this patient population.

Arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for the stiff total knee arthroplasty.
The management of the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty is controversial. Manipulation under anesthesia and open lysis of adhesions are techniques that can theoretically address the fibrous scar tissue, but their efficacy has been shown to be variable. We describe the technique of arthroscopic lysis of adhesions for the stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty. The advantages of this tec...
متن کاملSkin-capsular Mismatch According to Knee Positions for Instrument Insertion via Arthroscopic Portals
Damage to soft tissues, chondral surfaces, and the menisci may result from imprise or overly aggressive establishment of portals in arthroscopic knee surgeries. In this note, we address the relationship between the skin and the capsule at portal sites according to knee positions. Understanding the skin-capsular mismatch may facilitate arthroscopic procedures and indirectly reduce the operation ...
متن کاملShort-term outcome in total knee replacement after soft-tissue release and balancing.
We studied the influence of soft-tissue releases and soft-tissue balance on the outcome of 526 total knee replacements one year after operation. The surgery had been performed by seven surgeons in five centres in the United Kingdom between October 1999 and December 2002. Balancing was carried out by five surgeons using spacers and trials and by two surgeons using a 'balancer' instrument. All th...
متن کاملدرمان شکستگیهای پیچیده پلاتوی تیبیا بهروش جراحی هیبرید اکسترنال فیکساتور: گزارش 15 مورد
Background: Proper knee function is essential for daily activity. Since almost all complex tibial plateau fractures involve soft tissue compromise, there is some controversy as to the best treatment method. Currently, progress toward indirect reduction and external fixation, such as the hybrid external fixator, with minimal complications is underway. Herein we evaluate the outcomes of complex t...
متن کاملIntraarticular findings after gunshot wounds through the knee.
OBJECTIVES To compare the radiographic findings in patients with a low-velocity gunshot wound through the knee with the intraarticular pathology as documented by arthroscopy, and to evaluate arthroscopic management of these injuries. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review of a protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three patients with low-velocity gunshot wounds through the knee, no significant ...
