Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are commonly treated through orthopaedic surgery, with traditional procedures relying on arthroscopy using fluid as the medium. However, dry arthroscopy has emerged as a potentially advantageous alternative technique. This method allows the knee joint to remain dry, reducing the risk of fluid leakage and enabling a more precise surgical visualization, resulting in shorter operation times and fewer complications. Recent research has highlighted the benefits of carbon dioxide (CO) insufflation during ACL reconstruction, which can decrease pain and discomfort during early recovery. This article introduces a technique for performing ACL reconstruction that eliminates the need for arthroscopic fluid for visualization or instrumentation. Based on CO insufflation, this technique shows promise as a viable alternative to traditional fluid distention methods.
前交叉韧带(ACL)损伤通常通过骨科手术治疗,传统手术依赖以液体为介质的关节镜检查。然而,干式关节镜检查已成为一种具有潜在优势的替代技术。这种方法可使膝关节保持干燥,降低液体渗漏风险,并能实现更精确的手术可视化,从而缩短手术时间并减少并发症。最近的研究强调了在ACL重建过程中使用二氧化碳(CO)充气的益处,这可以减轻早期恢复期间的疼痛和不适。本文介绍了一种进行ACL重建的技术,该技术无需使用关节镜液体进行可视化或器械操作。基于CO充气,该技术有望成为传统液体扩张方法的可行替代方案。
