Knee arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic tool in the management of disorders of the knee. In a series of 4 articles, the basics of knee arthroscopy are reviewed. In this article (part 1), patient positioning, tourniquet placement, and draping are reviewed. Meticulous attention to these details allows surgical access to the compartments of the knee. A circumferential leg holder or a lateral post allows the application of varus and valgus forces to open the medial and lateral compartments of the knee.
膝关节镜检查是膝关节疾病管理中的一项重要诊断和治疗工具。在一系列4篇文章中,对膝关节镜检查的基础知识进行了综述。在本文(第1部分)中,对患者体位、止血带放置和铺巾进行了综述。对这些细节的精心关注有助于手术进入膝关节各腔室。环形腿部固定器或外侧支柱可用于施加内翻和外翻力,以打开膝关节的内侧和外侧腔室。
