A system has been especially designed and fabricated for use with an arthroscope and other instruments so that an open passage is maintained through the skin, retinaculum, and joint capsule to allow the insertion and withdrawal of instruments at will. This system is designed to minimize loss of irrigating fluid from the joint during use, including instrument exchanges. A companion stabilization device has been constructed to allow the unassisted application of valgus or varus stress to the knee while leaving the surgeon's hands free.
已专门设计并制造了一种系统，用于与关节镜及其他器械配合使用，以便在皮肤、支持带和关节囊之间保持开放通道，从而可随意插入和取出器械。该系统旨在尽量减少在使用过程中，包括器械更换时关节冲洗液的流失。还构建了一个配套的稳定装置，以便在不借助外力的情况下对膝关节施加外翻或内翻应力，同时让外科医生的双手得以解放。
