A novel toe arthroscopy distraction technique using an external positioning arm simplifies the procedure. This method allows surgeons to apply manual traction independently, improving accessibility for toe joint treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Toe arthroscopy is an evolving treatment for specific toe conditions.
  • Existing distraction methods for toe arthroscopy have faced challenges with effectiveness and complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, simplified external positioning arm for toe arthroscopy.
  • To enable surgeons to achieve adequate toe joint distraction manually without assistance.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a simple toe arthroscopy distraction device utilizing an external positioning arm.
  • Application of manual traction in various positions using the device.
  • Procedure performed without reliance on assistants or external weighting systems.

Main Results:
