Other endoscopes are covered in the following Product Comparisons: Bronchoscopes, Flexible; Video Colonoscopes; Sigmoidoscopes Duodenoscopes; Gastroscopes; Choledochoscopes; Video Systems, Endoscopic, Ingestible Cameras Laparoscopes Video Endoscopy Systems These devices are also called: articular cavity endoscopes. Purpose Arthroscopes are telescopic devices that enable visualization and therapeutic treatment of the interior of a joint (e.g., knee, shoulder, wrist, elbow, hip, ankle). They are used by physicians to facilitate the diagnosis and/or treatment of a wide variety of joint diseases and injuries. As a minimally invasive surgical procedure, arthroscopy is less traumatic than arthrotomy (open-joint surgery) and usually results in a shorter recovery time. Principles of operation An arthroscope consists of a magnifying-lens system sealed within a rigid tube and is available in two basic optical designs: the rod-lens system and the single-image fiber system. The rod-lens system employs long, rodlike lenses separated by small spaces, permitting small scope diameters and providing a brighter image than that with the single-image fiber system. Single-image fiber systems are even narrower in diameter (1 to 2.7 mm versus 4 to 6.5 mm) and consist of one image-transmitting fiber bundle rather than separate lenses. The smaller diameter of single-image fiber systems enables the arthroscopist to view hard-to-reach parts of the knee and to examine small joints such as the wrist or ankle. In both designs, the lens system is surrounded by optical fibers that transmit light to the interior of the joint from a distant source. In most cases, the intensity of the light source can be adjusted for direct viewing or viewing with video systems. (For more detailed information, see the Product Comparison titled Light Sources, Fiberoptic.)

[email protected] Comprehensive of Biomedical Engineering Site (www.dezmed.com) Arthroscopes WWW.DEZMED.COM human eye—between 70° and 100°. Most manufacturers offer arthroscopes with a number of viewing angles (directions of view). Many arthroscopists prefer a 30° direction of view because it increases the area that can be visualized while maintaining forward orientation as the scope is rotated about its longitudinal axis. Most arthroscopes use video cameras that attach to the eyepiece to view and document the procedure. The camera houses charge-coupled devices that convert the image produced at the eyepiece to a digital electronic signal. Once the arthroscope is inserted into the joint (often through a working sleeve or sheath), irrigation valves, which may be components of the sleeve or the scope, allow the joint to be distended and/or lavaged with saline solution, washing out blood and debris and allowing for better viewing. There are two basic techniques for performing arthroscopic surgery. One method uses an operating arthroscope with an instrument channel, which allows tools to be passed down the optical line of the Figure 1. Triangulation method of arthroscopy arthroscope. This technique is useful when it is difficult to enter a joint from a second or third portal. The other method, called the triangulation method, involves inserting a diagnostic arthroscope through one portal while the operating instrument is inserted through a second portal. This method allows for a greater variety of approaches than is possible with an operating arthroscope. Reported problems As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection or introduction of foreign particles. Skin microorganisms can enter the joint, especially during trocar insertion, and subsequent joint infections could present serious complications. Major contraindications to arthroscopy include sepsis (generalized infection), blood-clotting disorders, and restricted joint motion. Hemarthrosis (blood entering the joint or its synovial cavity) is a complication that can be treated by aspirating the blood from the joint. Other complications include breakage of surgical instruments inside the joint, lethal air embolism, subcutaneous emphysema, effusions, adhesions, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and cardiovascular and neurologic problems. Use of optical catheter systems for arthroscopic evaluation and treatment of the knee in an office setting may compromise visual acuity, resulting in missed or incorrect diagnoses (Meister et al. 1996). The optical catheter has been a popular choice due to its compact size and relatively low cost. Purchase considerations ECRI Institute recommendations Included in the accompanying comparison chart are ECRI Institute’s recommendations for minimum performance requirements for arthroscopes; recommended specifications have been categorized into one group— general arthroscopes. The general category covers both diagnostic and operating arthroscopes. Compatibility with existing and future equipment should be taken into account. Standard arthroscopes should permit connection to all common models of camera heads, and video arthroscopes should preferably be compatible not only with the facility’s current video processors but with more recent processor models offered by the same manufacturer. Additionally, the manufacturer should make available a sufficient variety of light guides to permit connection to all common light source designs. 2 ©2007 ECRI Institute. All Rights Reserved. et al.
