What Is a Knee Scope?

Knee arthroscopy can check, diagnose and treat intra-articular diseases, and is suitable for knee joint injuries and non-infectious arthritis.

Traditional knee surgery has large trauma, more bleeding, slower postoperative recovery, and larger surgical scars at the joints. In contrast, knee arthroscopic surgery has less trauma, less bleeding, accurate results, faster recovery, and complications. Fewer surgical scars.

(1) Knee arthroscopic surgery is performed in the joint. Intra-articular infection will seriously affect joint function, so it should be controlled from all aspects, and the surgical indications and the patient's own conditions must be strictly controlled. If there are local inflammation or infection, systemic infectious diseases and other susceptible factors, they must be controlled before surgery.

(2) According to the patient's condition, a drainage tube is placed to prevent postoperative joint effusion and joint swelling in the short term.

(3) The scalpel scissors and fumigated arthroscopic instruments soaked before surgery should be rinsed with normal saline before use.

(4) Itinerant nurses should closely observe the changes of the condition and add perfusion fluid in time to prevent air from entering the joint capsule and affect the visual field effect of the operation. During the operation, patients should be as comfortable as possible to reduce pain.

(5) To ensure the smooth operation, the maintenance of arthroscopic instruments should be strengthened and cleaned.

(6) Avoid bending of the fiber optic cable, the inner diameter should be> 10cm, and it should be performed from weak to strong when turning on the cold light source.
