Abstract:
[Objective]To study the feasibility and significance of a safe arthroscopic entrance technique to posterior compartment of the knee joint.[Method]Exploratory surgery of posterior compartment of 239 knee joints was performed by arthroscope or its working instruments through the combined entrances of anteromedial,anterolateral,intercondylar notch,posteromedial,posterolateral and trans-septal.Their results were evaluated.[Result]With this technique,complete arthroscopic visualization of the posterior compartment of knee joint and arthroscopic procedures for this compartment could be easily performed in 216 cases(239 knees),except 5 cases with arthro-stiffness.There occurred 1 case of saphenous nerve injury but no complications such as injuries of popliteal neurovascular structures.[Conclusion]Combined entrances of posterior compartment of knee joint is a satisfactory approach for arthroscopic surgery of posterior compartment of knee joint and can give a high efficiency and quality of arthroscopic surgery for posterior compartment of knee joint.
