What is arthroscopic debridement?
Arthroscopic debridement includes the removal of dead tissue, bone chips or other undesirable material and/or exterminating the disturbing bone during arthroscopic surgery on the joint. The residues are extinct or washed out with a saline solution in a process called rinsing. The purpose of the whole procedure is to clean the joint to create more space for movement required by the remaining healthy bones and tissue. The primary purpose of arthroscopic surgery for serious, sudden injuries is usually the repair or overwork of the joint parts, with debridement as a secondary procedure. However, if chronic pain, such as arthritis is caused, the extent of surgery is generally limited to arthroscopic debridement.
Although the procedure is most commonly performed on the knee, arthroscopic debridement may be useful in alleviating pain in other main joint joints such as shoulder, elbow, ankle, wrist or hip. The surgeon usually works in a triangular field and makes three small cuts around the kneesand one of which is an arthroscope, flexible, optical tube with a small illuminated camera that transmits the view of the joint monitor. The arthroscope itself can wear other tools, including those used in the joint.
other slices give the surgeon flexibility during surgery, which can also serve the exploration purpose in terms of specific joint conditions. For example, in a surgery on a patient with torn meniscus - a joint injury of crescent cartilage, which a flew knee - a surgeon could find that there is no duty tissue for repair. An alternative would be trimming the tissue or slip it to avoid getting between the two bones.
Acute joint injury is most often caused by accidents, sports or activities including overuse and chronic pain often occur due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. This condition, also known as a degenerative illnessThe joints are the result of bony spots and cysts that develop as a joint, lose cartilage. NEMSERY workers do not normally consider arthroscopic debridement to be the first possibility of treating arthritis joint pain because promising medicines and effective rehabilitation alternatives have been developed and because not all patients help surgery.
