Knee Joint

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

Orthopedics
Surgical Innovation
Medical Illustration

Background:

Hip arthroscopy is a rapidly advancing surgical procedure.
Accurate documentation of arthroscopic findings is crucial for diagnosis, research, and quality improvement.
Existing documentation methods may lack simplicity, precision, or practicality.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simple, precise, and practical method for recording arthroscopic findings in the hip.
To create a two-dimensional diagram of the acetabulum and femoral head based on cartographic principles.

Main Methods:

Applied cartographic principles to create a two-dimensional hip diagram.
The diagram represents the acetabulum from a lateral view and the femoral head from a superior view.
Key anatomical structures like the ligamentum teres and head-neck junction are depicted.

Main Results:

A novel hip diagram was successfully developed.
The diagram provides a clear and accurate representation of the acetabulum and femoral head.
The documentation form utilizing this diagram is simple, precise, and accurate.

Conclusions:

The developed hip diagram offers a practical solution for documenting arthroscopic findings.
This tool can significantly assist clinicians in their practice for diagnostic, research, and audit purposes.
The application of cartographic principles offers a novel approach to surgical documentation.
