Backgrounds:
Wide-bore angiocatheter is readily available in the hospital in pre-sterilized packed form. There are various uses in medical and surgical field apart from its use for transfusion. Here we are outlining its various uses in orthopaedic surgeries.
Method:
Fourteen gauge angiocatheter which internal diameter is 1.3 mm is used in fracture of patella, olecranon to pass the stainless steel (SS) wire, in scaphoid fracture fixation and hip arthroscopy and its efficacy is noted.
Result:
Surgical procedure assisted by 14 gauge angiocatheter reduces surgical time, and soft tissues damage and it also helped in scaphoid fixation and hip arthroscopy.
Conclusion:
Passing SS-wire through soft tissues and bone causes lots of trouble and time consuming. With the help of angiocatheter it overcomes these problems. So, its use in orthopaedic surgeries are rewarding.
