Meniscal ramp lesions have been reported to be present in 9% to 17% of patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Detection at the time of arthroscopy can be accomplished based upon clinical suspicion and careful evaluation without the use of an accessory posteromedial portal. Options for surgical treatment include arthroscopic repair using an all-inside or inside-out techni...

Hip arthroscopy in patients with osteoarthritis has been shown to have suboptimal outcomes. Elevated cytokine concentrations in hip synovial fluid have previously been shown to be associated with cartilage pathology. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between hip synovial fluid cytokine concentration and clinical outcomes at a minimum of 2 years following h...

A RTHROSCOPY AFFORDS SURGEONS the ability to evaluate and treat intra-articular pathology in a direct, minimally invasive manner. Wrist arthroscopy has transformed the way physicians approach wrist disorders. The equipment and principles used are based on the techniques of large joint arthroscopy. Using fluid for articular distention and visualization has traditionally been thought of as an ess...

Robotic arthroscopy is a potential alternative surgery method because the use of robotic arthroscope manipulators could ensure constant quality view that would enhance workflow operator. To achieve this advancement, workspace derivation for movement in human joint needed. There key requirement arthroscope: should incorporate all essential observation sites to suitable field during an arthroscop...

Calcaneonavicular coalition is a common source of pain and more or less severe flat and stiff foot in children. Classically, treatment consists in resecting the coalition using a dorsolateral approach. Good quality resection and interposition can prevent recurrence. The most common complications are infection, hematoma and neuroma. Arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive alternative, but the op...

Posterolateral fractures of the tibial plateau are difficult to address. Malunion can lead early posttraumatic arthritis knee due instability and elevated joint reaction forces. Arthroscopically assisted percutaneous reduction facilitates visualization avoids open approaches either directly from posterolateral or lateral with optional extension via a epicondylus osteotomy. We describe illustrat...

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...
