Arthroskopie Aims and scope

Zusammenfassung

Die Arthroskopie ist ein wichtiges Instrument für Diagnostik und Therapie einer Vielzahl von Erkrankungen des Ellenbogengelenks geworden. Sie gilt als sicher und effektiv, aber auch als technisch anspruchsvoll. Mit 11% ist die Komplikationsrate höher als früher angenommen wurde. Eine standardisierte Operationstechnik mit besonderer Berücksichtigung und Kenntnis der neurovaskulären Anatomie ist für die Reduktion des Komplikationsrisikos wichtig. Die Platzierung der Portale, die für eine vollständige Beurteilung des Gelenks erforderlich sind, und die Art der Zugangsanlage beeinflussen entscheidend die Höhe des Risikos für die Entstehung von Komplikationen.

Abstract

Arthroscopy has become an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of different disorders of the elbow. It is safe and effective but also technically demanding. The overall rate of complications is 11%, which is higher than previously supposed. A standardized technique taking the neurovascular anatomy into consideration is important to decrease the risk of complications. Placement of the portals to evaluate the whole joint and the approach used are critical if complications are to be avoided.
