Surgical methods
Editorial Podcast
1. Shoulder arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is adapted to surgical treatment of articular free body, biceps rupture and osteoarthritis. During shoulder arthroscopy, patients usually need to adopt the lateral position, and in order to obtain a good surgical field of vision and facilitate surgical operation, it is often necessary to use the upper extremity traction equipment to maintain the affected limb abduction design requirements.
2. Elbow arthroscopy
It is suitable for elbow pain of unknown cause, which cannot be diagnosed by other diagnostic means, free body in elbow joint, humeral tuberosity exfoliation osteochondritis dissecans, removal of cartilage fragments and articular cartilage repair, rheumatoid or tuberculous acute and chronic synovitis joint cleaning and synovial membrane partially excision, ulnar humerus or hawksbill fossa bone cumbersome arthroscopic grinding, elbow joint fracture. Microscopic closed reduction and fixation of elbow fractures, microscopic release of elbow adhesions, joint cleaning for septic arthritis, and treatment of ulnar humerus bursitis, elbow canal syndrome and tennis elbow.
3. Ankle arthroscopy
Applicable to patients with persistent post-traumatic joint pain, judgment of the degree of injury; degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis lesions; non-specific synovial inflammation of the ankle joint; exfoliative osteochondritis dissecans or ischemic necrosis of the talus; ligament injury before repair to remove the free body or observation of cartilage damage; arthroscopy can be carried out by the cartilage modification, removal of the free body or the separation of joint adhesions. Joint adhesion separation, etc.
4. Hip arthroscopy
It is effective in the treatment of some hip joint diseases for which conservative treatment is ineffective. It can deal with both intra-articular lesions and drilling decompression, which reduces the damage to the blood flow and stability of the joint than any other kind of surgery that preserves the hip joint. It plays a positive role in reducing pain, improving joint mobility function, and delaying joint replacement.
5. Knee arthroscopy
In principle, all lesions within the knee joint are indications for knee arthroscopy. The knee is the site where the most key techniques are performed and is the basis of arthroscopic surgery, including:
(1) anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
(2) Reduction and fixation of intra-articular fractures.
(3) Excision, partial excision, suturing and plasty of the meniscus.
(4) Synovial tissue biopsy and synovectomy.
(5) Clearance (removal) of joint foreign bodies, crystals, fragments, free bodies, etc.
(6) Molding, grafting or cleaning of cartilage or osteochondral lesions.
(7) Correction of the axis of the patella.
(8) Articular chondroplasty.
(9) Excision of bone remnants or tumors.
(10) Release of joint adhesions.
(11)Arthroscopic cleanup.
