• Indications not well established except for acute closed
lock
• May not adequately release adhesions, etc.
• Limited success for chronic or more severe conditions

121
Q

Indications for Arthroscopy

A
  • Pain and dysfunction with the following conditions: • Decreased condylar translation due to disk hypomobility
  • Anteriorly displaced disk with or without reduction • Closed lock
  • Traumatic injury
122
Q

Advantages of Arthroscopy

A
  • Minimally invasive
  • Outpatient procedure
  • Rapid recovery
  • Excellent success (80-95%)
  • Low morbidity
  • Allows examination under anesthesia
123
Q

Disadvantages of Arthroscopy

A
  • Advanced disease may not improve
  • Disk unlikely to reposition
  • Failure usually requires open surgery
  • Requires aggressive postoperative physical therapy and patient compliance
  • Morbidity includes nerve or middle ear injury (both extremely rare)
124
Q

Adhesion types •

A

Light, filmy

• Fibrous bands • Pseudowall

125
Q

Disk pathology

A
  • Neovascularization • Fibrillation

* Perforation

126
Q

Adhesion lysis

A
  • Light adhesions – in course of inspection
  • Heavier bands, walls –
  • Use blunt trocar
  • Sweeping motion lateral-medial
  • Light contact with articular surface
  • Reassess with arthroscope
127
Q

Lavage

• Quantity rarely a concern, typically —– or more • Lactated Ringer’s vs. Normal Saline?

A

2-300ml

128
Q

• Arthrotomy:

A

Incision into the joint

129
Q

• Arthroplasty:

A

Repair, revision, and/or

reconstruction of joint tissues (hard and soft)

130
Q

• Meniscectomy=

A

Discectomy: Removal of the disk

131
Q

Disk Repair/Repositioning Procedures

• Indications

A
  • Minimal disk displacement

* Otherwise generally healthy joint tissues • Near-normal disk morphology

132
Q

Disk Repair/Repositioning Procedures

Disadvantages:

A

• Often do not change disk position • Pop or click may recur

133
Q

Meniscectomy (Discectomy) with/without Interpositional Graft

• Graft Materials (if used):

A
  • Dermis
  • Temporal fascia
  • Auricular cartilage
134
Q

Meniscectomy (Discectomy) with/without Interpositional Graft

Indications

A
  • Severe degenerative changes in disk
  • Disk beyond repair
  • Severe interference with normal function (for example, patient with late, hard, painful pop on mouth opening due to disk reduction)
135
Q

Meniscectomy (Discectomy)

Disadvantages

A

Disadvantages
• Malocclusion or failure uncommon but possible
• Replacement requires graft harvest
• Replacement may offer little benefit over meniscectomy without graft
• Alloplastic materials (artificial disks) not available
