Outpatient diagnostic and surgical arthroscopy of the knee with local anaesthesia

Abstract

In department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology of Akdeniz University, 238 diagnostic and surgical arthroscopic procedures have been carried out between the years of 1983-1990, these cases have been evaluated in the respect of local anaesthetic and arthroscopic techniques, complications and arthroscopic diagnosis of them. The mean age of the patients was 31.8 years (range 11-80 years) and 175 were male, 63 were female. No complications were observed releated with anaesthetic and arthroscopic techniques. We found out 88.8% diagnostic accuracy of arthroscopy of meniscal pathology under local anaesthesia. If it is used by experienced arthroscopic surgeon, this metod is suggested to be very safe, reliable and inexpensive alternative to other type of anaesthesia. On the other hand, this method is particularly important in the assessment of dynamic evaluation of motions ofpatellofemoral joint and localization of triggerpoints of painful knee. It is also offers possibility to the surgeon to use it on outpatient arthroscopy.
