	Information regarding orthopaedic conditions and treatment of the knee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Arthroscopy allows an orthopaedic surgeon to diagnose and treat knee disorders by providing a clear view of the inside of the knee with small incisions, utilizing a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope.
		Most arthroscopies are performed on patients between the ages of 20 and 60, but patients younger than 10 years and older than 80 years have benefited from the procedure.
		If you decide to have arthroscopy, you may be asked to have a complete physical with your family physician before surgery to assess your health and to rule out any conditions that could interfere with your surgery.

		The majority of arthroscopies are performed in the knee joint, but the shoulder joint, the elbow joint and the ankle are also suitable for arthroscopy.
		Before a decision is taken to carry out an arthroscopy, it is important to fully establish whether the symptoms and the case story actually form the basis of a disorder which it is possible to treat.
		At times, however, arthroscopy is used solely to determine the reason of a joint disorder, even though it is not possible to treat it arthroscopically.

		Arthroscopy of the hip is a relatively new procedure to diagnose and treat certain conditions of the hip.
		This paper is a presentation of the first 30 consecutive hip arthroscopies of 100 cases performed from September of 1986 through June 2000.
		In summary, hip arthroscopy is a valuable procedure for the diagnosis of unexplained hip pain.

		Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows for the diagnosis, and if necessary, treatment of complications inside a joint.
		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.

		The aim of the present thesis was, to evaluate local anaesthesia as an anaesthetic technique when performing knee arthroscopies, from a clinical and economical point of view, and to describe the total costs for surgery of knee injuries caused by sport activities in Stockholm.
		In a retrospective study of 6519 arthroscopies, we tried to estimate the failure rate for knee arthroscopy in local anaesthesia compared to the same procedure in general anaesthesia.
		Arthroscopy in local anaesthesia should be avoided if the patient has excessive synovitis.

		Those in whom the MRI was positive went on to arthroscopy, while those in whom the MRI was negative but the clinical exam strongly suggested an arthroscopically treatable problem were randomly assigned to either arthroscopy or conservative treatment.
		Overall, 507 arthroscopies were performed and 335 lesions were found that were treatable by arthroscopy.
		Thus, routine use of MRI increased the proportion of knee arthroscopies in which a lesion was actually repaired from 53 percent to 89 percent.

		Arthrotomy for internal derangement is now obsolete and the debate has moved on to the relative roles of arthroscopy and MRI in the management of knee disorders.
		The clinical problem is to try to avoid MRI for patients who definitely need therapeutic arthroscopy and yet to prevent invasive arthroscopy when there is no surgically treatable lesion.
		They compared the proportions of negative arthroscopies and positive MRIs for a surgeon with a special interest in the knee with those for a group of general orthopaedic surgeons.

	Precision Acromioplasty in Arthroscopic Subacromial Decompression of the Shoulder
		Achieving this goal using the arthroscope requires preoperative evaluation of the acromial morphology, planning of the dimensions of bony resection, a reproducible acromioplasty method with intraoperative evaluation of the adequacy of resection, and postoperative confirmation of the resulting acromial shape.
		A lateral portal is created just anterior to the mid point of the acromion and some 3 to 4 cm lateral to the bony edge to allow passage of the arthroscope into the subacromial space parallel to the acromial undersurface.
		At the time of diagnostic arthroscopy, subacromial decompression with adequate acromioplasty may be performed arthroscopically or by subsequent open technique.

	arthroscopic surgery alternative
		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.
		At any one time during arthroscopy of the knee, four instruments could be stuck into an athlete's knee-including scopes, probes, shavers, pumps, and various other instruments of local destruction.

		Drasner pointed out that 1.5 and 5% lidocaine produce equally effective spinal anaesthesias, and the risk of neurotoxic injury can be minimised by reducing dose and concentration, although such modifications do not seem to affect the incidence of TNS (Drasner 1998).

		“When I started doing arthroscopies, the patient turnaround time was about 1 hour; now it’s 8 minutes.” Turnaround time has a huge impact on the bottom line in institutions like OSU Hospitals East, where about 40 arthroscopies are performed weekly in the new suites.
		Although many patients are under anesthesia during surgery and are unaware of the specific features of the surgical suites, they have been pleased about being treated in such a cutting-edge environment.

	Hip arthroscopy - the Melbourne procedure - Injury Update Forum
		There were more than five times as many hip arthroscopies performed in Victoria than in NSW over the last five years, despite, of course, NSW having a significantly higher population.
		This is a situation I have suspected for a long time - as a Sydney practitioner I have sent quite a few patients down to Melbourne for hip arthroscopies because the Sydney surgeons don't like to do hip scopes.
		It does suggest that if you live in Sydney and want a hip scope by a surgeon with substantial experience in the procedure then you should seriously considered going to Melbourne.
