A randomized pilot validation of educational measures in teaching shoulder arthroscopy to surgical residents
Can J Surg, Vol. 50, No. 5, October 2007
Peter J.M. Ceponis, PhD;*†‡Denise Chan, MBT;†‡Richard S. Boorman, MD;†‡Carol Hutchison, MD;‡ Nicholas G.H. Mohtadi, MD†‡
Conclusion: This pilot trial suggests that a composite teaching curriculum is at least as effective as a cadaver-based environment for teaching orthopedic surgery residents fundamental knowledge of diagnostic shoulder arthroscopy.

Ankle Arthroscopy eMedicine
Vinod K Panchbhavi, MD, FRCS, FACS 2008
Arthroscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic technique for management of disorders of the ankle joint. The availability of fiberoptic arthroscopes, modern arthroscopic instrumentation, and ankle distraction techniques has allowed orthopedic surgeons to manage a variety of ankle disorders arthroscopically. Surgical procedures of the ankle performed arthroscopically are generally associated with lower morbidity, faster rehabilitation, and better cosmetic results as compared with conventional open surgical methods.

Arthroscopic meniscal repair
Although the first meniscal repair was performed over 100 years ago, many aspects of meniscal repair remain controversial. This article reviews the structure and function of the menisci, the rationale for repair and the clinical results of arthroscopic meniscal repair

Arthroscopy of the Hip Wheeless
Indications:
- evaluation of hip pain- candidates are patients with nonspecific radiographic findings and reproducible, functionally-limiting physical signs and symptoms.
- the false negative rate of plain x-ray, bone scan, CT, arthrogram, and routine MRI has been quoted as high as 80% in some patient populations.
- gadolinium enhanced MRI demonstrated a sensitivity of 55% for all intra-articular pathology and 74% for labral tears in patients where other modalities had failed to reveal a source of pain.

Arthroscopy of the Knee
Discussion:
- arthroscopy of the arthritic knee:
- Arthroscopy following TKR:
- chondral and osteochondral injuries of the knee
- meniscal tears:
- prevalence of wrong pre-operative diagnosis or additional pathology:
- always consider an alternative diagnosis especially in younger patients (in whom bone tumors should be considered);

Wrist Arthroscopy eMedicine Orthopedics
Surgical visualization by means of arthroscopy has revolutionized orthopedics by allowing direct treatment of intra-articular pathology. Wrist arthroscopy evolved from the successful application of arthroscopy in larger joints.
The wrist is a complex joint that continues to challenge clinicians. This joint consists of 8 carpal bones, multiple articular surfaces with extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments, and a triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC)—all within a 5-cm interval. Surgeons who use wrist arthroscopy are able to directly visualize cartilage, synovial tissue, and ligaments under bright illumination and magnification.
