    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Arthroscopy Techniques

    Background:

    • Complete visualization of the knee joint is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
    • Traditional arthroscopic approaches may have limitations in accessing all intra-articular structures, particularly posterior compartments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a specific arthroscopic technique for comprehensive knee examination.
    • To highlight the benefits of using anterior joint line portals and an angled arthroscope for knee arthroscopy.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized three anterior joint line portals for instrument and arthroscope insertion.
    • Employed an angled arthroscope inserted through the patellar tendon for visualization.
    • Facilitated bimanual anterior surgery and posterior compartment access.
