| | Ankle Arthroscopy |
 | | Before performing arthroscopy of the ankle, it is important for the surgeon to understand extra-articular as well as intra-articular anatomy, since a variety of subcutaneous structures are at risk during the surgical approach. | | | In performing operative arthroscopy of the ankle, the situation may arise where it is necessary to develop an accessory portal, distal to the antero-lateral or antero-medial portal. | | | Arthroscopy of the ankle joint as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure seems to become more and more popular. |

| | KNEE ARTHROSCOPY |
| | Arthroscopy is much less traumatic to the muscles, ligaments, and tissues than the traditional method of surgically opening the knee with long incisions (arthrotomy). | | | Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which a small fiberoptic telescope (arthroscope) is inserted into a joint. | | | Fluid is then inserted into the joint to distend the joint and to allow for the visualization of the structures within that joint. |

| | Your Procedure - Arthroscopic Surgery |
| | Arthroscopy allows for a decision to be made which is more accurate than a diagnosis through "open" surgery or from X-ray and MRI studies. | | | For a shoulder arthroscopy, a scaline block and general anesthetic will be given to you, which will help in post-operative pain relief. | | | Repair can then be done through the scope, and is less traumatic than "open" surgery. |

| | An editorial comment in 1987 described hip arthroscopy as a procedure "technically difficult, fraught with some danger, which should be attempted only by the most experienced arthroscopic surgeon".7 In this study we describe the operative technique and the complications encountered in the largest single series of arthroscopies of the hip so far reported. | | | All arthroscopies were carried out under general anaesthesia with the patients in the lateral position.7,12 Traction was applied through a boot strapped to the ipsilateral foot with a sling supporting the leg (Fig. | | | All three had the arthroscopy during the same operating session suggesting that there was a technical error, probably in the application of traction. |

| | Arthroscopy is surgery, the myth that athletes have been fed is that a scope can find out the problem and solve it. | | | The guise under which arthroscopy flourishes is that it is supposed to help with diagnosis of an athlete's problem and allows the orthopedist the ability to fix the problem immediately. | | | The word arthroscopy comes from the prefix arth-, which means joint, and scope, which means scope. |

| | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY |
| | The advantages of arthroscopy are the ability to observe directly the internal knee structure and the opportunity to carry out therapeutic interventions at the same time. | | | In considering the relative importance of MRI field strength, evidence suggests that field strength is not a significant determinant of diagnostic reliability for MRI assessment of internal derangement of the knee. | | | From these studies it is clear that MRI is certainly not a substitute for a thorough clinical examination, and should only be considered as an addition to an initial clinical diagnosis. |

| | In nearly all cases, a limited anaesthesia is applied which means that if the patient prefers, he or she is awake during the arthroscopy. | | | The anaesthesia is induced and while it begins to work, the joint to be arthroscopied is washed and draped. | | | This depends of which joint is to be examined and which treatment, if any, has been performed at the arthroscopy. |

| | Hip arthroscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool has been infrequently performed in the management of hip pain for several reasons. | | | When a patient's hip pain extends beyond six months and is not responsive to appropriate conservative means, then hip arthroscopy is of significant value as both a diagnostic and therapeutic application, the authors said. | | | Although most causes of functional hip pain will dissipate with conservative treatment, there are a number of patients who demonstrate reproducible refractory hip pain of mechanical origin with equivocal or negative radiologic studies. |
