RESUMO
Knee arthroscopy has allowed us to continue performing surgeries that are minimally invasive and allow patients to have a quick recovery. Multiligamentous knee reconstruction with regards to the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament can be done in a minimally invasive matter. Visualization is an issue during this surgery, especially looking in the posterior compartment of the knee. The NanoScope (Arthrex, Naples, FL) continues to provide increased possibilities for orthopaedic surgeons. Our technique provides a less-invasive way to observe the posterior compartment to assist the drilling of the tibial tunnel during the posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique provides distinct advantages over other treatments.
RESUMO
Arthroscopic meniscus repair is one of the commonly used arthroscopic surgical procedures. Open treatment was the standard for meniscus repairs and recently arthroscopic all-inside treatment has become popular. Novel and more minimally invasive techniques to common arthroscopic procedures are paving the foundation to better patient outcomes. With the use of the NanoScope and nanoinstruments, we continue to develop new minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques that do not require standard portals. The nanoscopic medial meniscus repair technique described here uses a less-invasive approach to a meniscus repair.
