Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Knee arthroscopy has significantly advanced since the 20th century.
  • Arthroscopic meniscectomy is the most frequently performed orthopedic surgical procedure in the U.S.
  • Ongoing development focuses on increasingly minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the NanoScope system as a novel tool for knee arthroscopy.
  • To explore the potential of incisionless diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopic procedures.
  • To present the NanoScope system's application in performing partial medial meniscectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the NanoScope system, which bypasses the need for standard incisions or portals.
  • Employing nanoinstruments for diagnostic and treatment capabilities within the knee joint.
  • Performing a partial medial meniscectomy using this incisionless technique.

Main Results:

  • The NanoScope system facilitates diagnostic arthroscopy without incisions.
  • Incisionless partial medial meniscectomy is achievable with the NanoScope system.
  • The technology represents a new generation of possibilities in arthroscopic knee surgery.

Conclusions:

  • The NanoScope system provides an innovative, incisionless option for knee arthroscopy.
  • This technology advances minimally invasive surgical possibilities for knee procedures.
  • It offers a significant update to the approach for partial medial meniscectomy.
