A thigh fracture with a plate in the knee does not interfere with arthroscopy.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, but it is also a surgical procedure that is performed under general anesthesia.
Arthroscopy, as the name suggests, is a means of examining diseases in the joints, mainly checking the situation in the joint cavity, with its strict indications and contraindications. After fracture, there is a steel plate, the location of the plate is mainly in the bone surface, and will not affect the arthroscopic observation of intra-articular tissues and structures, and is not a contraindication to arthroscopic surgery.
And thigh fracture after fixation is not affected by performing arthroscopic surgery in any way.
Arthroscopy of a thigh fracture with a plate in the knee should be performed by informing the physician of the presence of the plate preoperatively to avoid adverse consequences.
