One patient required ICU admission with neurological sequelae and another lost monocular vision due to a meningococcal uveitis; the third patient experienced respiratory distress syndrome without sequelae (Table 3) (15,32,47) There was only one case of secondary osteoarthritis after PMSA; it was in a 60-year-old patient who required an ankle
arthrotomy. (48)
For the purposes of this study, urgent or emergent consults were defined as one of the following: open fractures (ballistic injuries were not included in this cohort), compartment syndrome, septic joint, and traumatic
arthrotomy.
(f) The
arthrotomy was closed with interrupted 4-0 nylon sutures, and the skin was closed with continuous 4-0 nylon sutures.
She was then taken as an emergency to the operating theatre for
arthrotomy of the right shoulder and elbow joints.
With the elastic nails, there was a problem of migration (retraction) over time, while the problem encountered in telescopic nails was the need to open the joint (
arthrotomy) during fixation to prevent migration, which posed another challenge (3-5).
The surgical approach was medial parapatellar
arthrotomy with midvastus approach.
Surgical incision was made lateral to middle straight patellar ligament to perform
arthrotomy (Fig.
Using standard sterile surgical techniques, an
arthrotomy dorsomedial to the medial collateral ligament was performed and the anterior tibial attachment of the medial meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament was identified; forceps were passed behind the CCL to isolate this structure, which was transected with a scalpel blade.
Briefly, mice were anesthetized, and a medial parapatellar
arthrotomy was performed on one knee (dislocation side) by first extending the joint and then dislocating the patella laterally.
The lesion was approached through the mini
arthrotomy. Debridement of lesion was conducted on the borders of the damaged cartilage including the healthy cartilage tissues, and the subchondral bone of the lesion which was exposed.
In sterile conditions, a medial para-patellar
arthrotomy was made in both knees.
An arthroscopy-assisted synovectomy with removal of the loose bodies has the following advantages over a traditional hip
arthrotomy surgery.
