    Outpatient arthroscopy performed under local anesthesia is a viable diagnostic tool. This study evaluated 160 cases, demonstrating the feasibility of this minimally invasive orthopedic procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Background:

    • Arthroscopy is commonly performed under general anesthesia.
    • Diagnostic joint endoscopy under general anesthesia may be overly resource-intensive.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of performing arthroscopy as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia.
    • To assess the preparation, technique, complications, and challenges associated with local anesthesia arthroscopy.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducted 160 outpatient arthroscopies between 1977 and 1979.
    • Utilized local anesthesia for the arthroscopic examinations.
    • Documented procedure details, including preparation, technique, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Successfully performed 160 outpatient arthroscopies.
  • The study discusses the preparation, technique, complications, and problems encountered.

    • Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopy can be effectively performed as an outpatient procedure using local anesthesia.
    • This approach offers a less resource-intensive alternative for joint diagnostics.
