another small skin puncture dis is called arthroscopic surgry.

Advantges

-litle imobilisation reqd
-barely visibl scars
-posibl undr locl anaesthesia
-better asesment of joint

Indications
*Knee joint
-loose body removl

Procedur
Knee arthroscpy-
Spinal/genral anasthsia
Torniquet aplied on thigh.
Knee cleand & draped.
Arthroscope & instrmnts r introdcd thru smal cuts called portals.
Comonst portal is anterolat portal located just lat 2 patellar tendon @ levl of joint.
A smal video camera is atatchd 2 artroscope & insid of knee can b seen on TV monitor.
Artroscope can b movd 2 diff parts of joint.
A 2nd portal usd for intrducing probe/other instrmnts i.e anteromedial portal on medial side of patellar tendon.
Crux of performing arthrscpic surgry is ability 2 bring tip of instrmnts in front of telescope(triangulation)

Limitations
-Case suitability
-Learning curve
-Expensiv eqipments
