What is arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is the term used to describe the entry into the body cavity or potential cavity through an invasive procedure, such as laparoscopy and arthroscopy. It is an electronic arthroscope that uses a fiber-guided beam to introduce a cold light source line and inserts the mirror body into the joint cavity and then displays the image on a TV screen through a CCD image sensor to observe various lesions in the joint cavity, which has a realistic image, high definition, and allows the doctor to observe the diagnosis and treatment more clearly. With the rapid development of arthroscopy in recent years, arthroscopic treatment is characterized by less trauma and faster postoperative recovery.
In the knee joint, the most widely used include.
I. Stability injury of the knee joint and treatment
1. Reconstruction of anterior cruciate knee injury
2. avulsion fractures of the anterior cruciate tibial stop of the knee joint
3. Reconstruction of posterior cruciate knee injuries
4. Posterior cross tibial stop avulsion fracture of the knee
5. Arthroscopic assisted surgical treatment of posterior lateral knee structure (complex) injuries
6.Arthroscopic assisted surgical treatment of posterior medial knee structure injury
7. Treatment of multiple ligament injuries of the knee joint
II. Surgical treatment of meniscus injury
1. Meniscus revision surgery
2. Meniscectomy
3. Meniscus repair and strengthening surgery
4. Meniscus transplantation
C. Treatment of knee extension abnormalities
1. Treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation
2. Treatment of knee joint adhesions and knee extension device contractures
IV. Intra-articular foreign body
1. Free body
2. Metal foreign body, etc.
V. Synovial lesions
1. Synovectomy
2. Clean-up of choroidal nodular synovitis
Sixth, articular cartilage transplantation for articular cartilage injury
1. Autologous cartilage column transplantation
2. Autologous cartilage in vitro proliferation membrane graft
In the shoulder joint, observe whether the shoulder glenoid and glenoid labrum tissues are damaged and the type of damage, whether the biceps long head tendon stop is damaged, whether the rotator cuff is damaged or diseased, whether the shoulder peak is deformed and impinged, etc.
VII. Arthroscopic monitoring and treatment of fractures
1. Patella fracture
2. Tibial plateau fracture
The use in the shoulder joint broadly includes
I. Shoulder instability.
1. Arthroscopic repair of Bankart injury and bony Bankart injury (can cause shoulder dislocation of one kind)
2. Arthroscopic treatment of multidirectional instability
3. HAGL and RHAGL injuries
4. Repair of triple glenoid labral injury
II. Repair of SLAP injury
C. Acromioplasty
Joint capsule release for adhesive capsulitis
V. Clearing of calcific tendonitis
VI. Treatment of biceps tendonitis
VII. Microscopic treatment of rotator cuff injury
Other joints such as elbow, hip and ankle are increasingly used including
