Significance: As an example of a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical procedure, arthroscopic osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT) is a common option for repairing focal cartilage defects in the knee joints. Arthroscopic OAT offers considerable benefits to patients, such as less post-operative pain and shorter hospital stays. However, performing OAT arthroscopically is an extremely demanding task because the osteochondral graft harvester must remain perpendicular to the cartilage surface to avoid differences in angulation.
Aim: We present a practical ArthroNavi framework for instrument pose localization by combining a self-developed stereo endoscopy with electromagnetic computation, which equips surgeons with surgical navigation assistance that eases the operational constraints of arthroscopic OAT surgery.
Approach: A prototype of a stereo endoscope specifically fit for a texture-less scene is introduced extensively. Then, the proposed framework employs the semi-global matching algorithm integrating the matching cubes method for real-time processing of the 3D point cloud. To address issues regarding initialization and occlusion, a displaying method based on patient tracking coordinates is proposed for intra-operative robust navigation. A geometrical constraint method that utilizes the 3D point cloud is used to compute a pose for the instrument. Finally, a hemisphere tabulation method is presented for pose accuracy evaluation.
Results: Experimental results show that our endoscope achieves 3D shape measurement with an accuracy of . The mean error of pose localization is 15.4 deg (range of 10.3 deg to 21.3 deg; standard deviation of 3.08 deg) in our ArthroNavi method, which is within the same order of magnitude as that achieved by experienced surgeons using a freehand technique.
Conclusions: The effectiveness of the proposed ArthroNavi has been validated on a phantom femur. The potential contribution of this framework may provide a new computer-aided option for arthroscopic OAT surgery.

Introduction: Despite the good clinical outcomes of osteochondral autograft transplantation (OAT), reports of re-arthroscopic findings after OAT have been limited to short-term, and there are no reports of findings after long-term follow-up. This is the first report that describes re-arthroscopic findings long-term after OAT.

Electronic address:
Arthroscopic rigid fixation (ARF) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with resorbable pins and other advanced arthroscopic disc repositioning (ADR) techniques by sutures has provided a renewed interest in the role played by the disc in the treatment of the most severe cases of TMJ ID with anterior disc displacement with severe limitation of mouth opening. These techniques may be the last step prior to open TMJ surgery, if other less complex operative arthroscopic techniques (OAT) have previously failed, or for those cases in which no predictable results are expected with simpler OAT due to the presence of a severe displaced disc or closed lock. In this article, ARF with resorbable pins is being approached, with a special focus on describing the technique while reporting its advantages and disadvantages.
