Functional outcomes of patients who underwent arthroscopy-assisted surgery for trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis were reported. We included 24 consecutive patients (6 males and 18 females) who underwent surgery and postoperative hand therapy at our hospital between April 2012 and March 2018. For functional evaluation, we used the Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT), grip and pinch strength, range of motion of the thumb, visual analogue scale (VAS) for thumb pain, Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) and Japanese version of the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE-J) preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. The mean PPT rating improved from 12.3 to 13.3, the VAS score from 51 to 16, the QuickDASH score from 48 to 30 and the PRWE-J score from 55 to 29. All the improvements were statistically significant. There was a moderate positive correlation between the magnitude of improvement in PPT and QuickDASH scores. Arthroscopic intervention and associated hand therapy were effective in achieving early postoperative relief of thumb pain and in improving hand dexterity and activities of daily living. Level IV (Therapeutic).

Arthroscopy-Assisted Open Reduction Internal Fixation Versus Conventional Open Reduction Internal Fixation in the Treatment of Ankle Fractures: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis.
HSS J
February 2025
Division of Surgery, School of Medicine, European University Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprus.
Background: Arthroscopy can be used to assist the open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) approach in the treatment of acute ankle fractures. Arthroscopy can also help to assess the articular surface but is performed in only 1% of ankle fracture cases.
Purpose: We aimed to investigate (1) whether arthroscopy-assisted ORIF (AORIF) would lead to improved postoperative functional outcomes compared to conventional ORIF and (2) whether differences in postoperative complication rates exist between these 2 techniques.
Arthroscopy-Assisted Core Decompression and Bone Grafting for Avascular Necrosis of the Hip.
Arthrosc Tech

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California Irvine, Orange, California, U.S.A.
Although specific techniques vary, core decompression is generally accepted as the treatment of choice for precollapse avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip to delay or prevent progression of the disease. This can be combined with hip arthroscopy to allow visual assessment of the femoral head as well as treatment of intra-articular pathologies, which may contribute to pain and joint degeneration. We describe a technique of hip arthroscopy and concurrent core decompression using an expandable reamer and bone grafting for treatment of hip AVN.

Objective: A prospective study was conducted to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of three-dimensional printed guide plates assisted hip arthroscopy in the treatment of Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Methods: The clinical data of 25 patients with Cam-type FAI who met the selection criteria between December 2016 and September 2022 were collected. There were 13 males and 12 females with an average age of 42 years (range, 19-66 years).
Pediatric AC Joint Fracture Dislocation: Arthroscopy-assisted Reduction and Internal Bracing.
J Orthop Case Rep

Department of Orthopedic, apollo adlux hospital, Kochi, kerala, India.
Article Synopsis
- Acromioclavicular joint injuries are relatively common, particularly in adults, but rare in children, leading to various surgical options, including arthroscopic techniques.
- The case report describes an innovative arthroscopic-assisted fixation technique used on a 9-year-old girl with a fracture dislocation of the left AC joint, emphasizing stabilization through fiber tape and a mini-incision.
- The conclusion highlights the procedure's benefits, such as lower implant costs and no need for metal anchors, while noting the challenges associated with the learning curve for such techniques.
The efficacy of arthroscopy-assisted versus stand-alone open reduction and internal fixation for treating tibial plateau fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
October 2024
School of Medicine, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: The optimal surgical technique for treating tibial plateau fractures remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of arthroscopy-assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) to those of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in treating tibial plateau fractures.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to compare surgical outcomes between ARIF versus ORIF for patients with tibial plateau fractures.
