Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of patients who underwent small-bore needle arthroscopic extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) release for the management of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis.
Methods: Patients who underwent elbow evaluation and ECRB release using a small-bore needle arthroscopy system were included in this study Thirteen patients were included. Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand and Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation scores, as well as overall satisfaction scores, were collected. A 2-tailed paired -test was conducted to assess the statistical significance of the differences observed between preoperative and 1-year postoperative scores with significance set at < .05.
Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in both outcome measures ( < .001) and a 92.3% satisfaction rate with no significant complications at a minimum 1-year follow-up.
Conclusions: Patients with recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis treated with ECRB release using needle arthroscopy demonstrated significantly improved Quick Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand and Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation scores postoperatively, without complications.
Level Of Evidence: IV, retrospective case series.

Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy Using a Needle Arthroscope for Visualization Resulted in Greater Retention of Postoperative Quadriceps Muscle Strength Compared to Traditional Arthroscope.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate differences in post-arthroscopic partial meniscectomy patients based upon the use of a small-bore needle arthroscope or traditional arthroscope for intraoperative visualization.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-eight patients were randomized in a 1:1 fashion to have the visualization for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy performed with either a needle arthroscope or traditional arthroscope. Prior to surgery and one-week post procedure, patients underwent peak torque isometric knee extension testing using a handheld dynamometer and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score collection.

As sports-related injuries are becoming more common among children, there has been an increased need for knee arthroscopies in the pediatric population. Nevertheless, pediatric knee arthroscopy exposure is varied among orthopaedic surgeons, especially during residency training. There is a considerable difference in knee arthroscopy case volume between the adult and the pediatric population among orthopaedic residents.

Unlabelled: Veress needles (VN) are commonly used in establishing pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic surgery. Previously, a VN with a new safety mechanism 'VeressPLUS' needle (VN+) was developed to reduce the amount of overshoot.
Methods: Eighteen participants (novices, intermediates, and experts) performed in total of 248 insertions in a systematic way on Thiel-embalmed bodies with wide and small bore versions of the conventional VN (VNc) and the VN+.

For unstable patients with chest trauma, the chest tube is the method of choice for the treatment of a relevant pneumothorax or haemothorax. In the case of a tension pneumothorax, needle decompression with a cannula of at least 5 cm length should be performed, directly followed by the insertion of a chest tube. The evaluation of the patient should be performed primarily with a clinical examination, a chest X-ray and sonography, but the gold standard of diagnostic testing is computed tomography (CT).
