An Augmented Virtuality Navigation System for Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Arthroscopic knee surgery can be challenging because there is no intuitive relationship between the arthroscopic image, shown on a screen above the patient, and the camera in the surgeon's hand. As a result, arthroscopic surgeons require extensive training and experience. This thesis describes a …

Outcomes of arthroscopic hip surgery in patients with Femoro-acetabular Impingement
… the pelvic side. Technical advances have led to arthroscopic treatment as a standard procedure for treating FAI. The results after this treatment have, however, not been well investigated. This thesis aims to investigate the results after arthroscopic treatment for FAI. A clinical register was …

The effect of music on anxiety in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery
… preoperative patients scheduled for out patient arthroscopic knee surgery. The purpose was to assess the influence of sedative music, as a nursing intervention, on the patient's postoperative anxiety level; Random assignment to a music treatment group or a no music control group, by surgical day, …

Effectiveness of Compensatory Vehicle Control Techniques Exhibited by Drivers after Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery
Current return-to-drive recommendations for patients following rotator cuff repair (RCR) surgery are not uniform due to a lack of empirical evidence relating driving safety and time-after-surgery. To address the limitations of previous work, Badger et al. (2022) evaluated, on public roads, the …

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. Trends and outcomes after arthroscopic treatment in the general and athlete population
… has acknowledged promising outcomes after arthroscopic hip surgery aiming to correct the abnormal morphology to reduce pain and increase range of motion. Despite rapid improvements in diagnosis, treatment and scientific research in terms of FAIS, several unresolved issues remain. The …

Current Concepts in the Aetiology, Pathogenesis and Management of Kienbock’s Disease
… aspect of the disease is best assessed with arthroscopic examination. Management of the disease requires consideration of a number of factors, both patient- and surgeon-focused. An algorithm is presented in this thesis to guide the surgeon treating Kienbock’s Disease. Primary considerations …

Initial validation of the arthroscopic skills acquisition tools (ASATs) : a low cost, online tool to develop and evaluate core skills for shoulder arthroscopy
… the European Working Time Directive. Developing arthroscopic surgical skills (keyhole surgery into a joint) has a longer learning curve than open surgery, driving the need to develop efficient training techniques. Virtual reality (VR) simulators offer great potential but such high fidelity …

Cam morphology of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome in athletes - Clinical and radiological studies
… of athletes still active at elite level after arthroscopic treatment for FAIS, and to make comparisons between genders, sports types and evaluations over time. Study I is a cross-sectional study comprising young athletes (60 male football players, 40 male and 35 female skiers). The prevalence …

SPECTROSCOPIC ASSESSMENT OF TISSUE ENGINEERED CARTILAGE: A PATHWAY FOR BENCH TO BEDSIDE EVALUATION OF CARTILAGE DEVELOPMENT AND REPAIR
… based on visual and tactile observations using arthroscopic hook probes which can be a very subjective approach. Furthermore, gold standard techniques (histological, mechanical and biochemical evaluation) to determine compositional and mechanical properties of constructs in vitro and ex vivo are …

Evaluation of a relatively hyperosmolar irrigation solution for use in equine femorotibial arthroscopy
… shown to decrease fluid extravasation during arthroscopic procedures and safety has been demonstrated in canine and human studies. Prospective, blinded, randomized controlled trial was performed to compare lactated Ringer's solution (273 mOsm/L) and a hyperosmolar (600 mOsm/L) irrigation …

International Comparative Analysis to Understand the Capacity for Arthroscopy Training and Practice in Developing Countries
… capacity and barriers for arthroscopy and arthroscopic training in such settings. Methods: Focus interviews were conducted with four surgeons each from Haiti (low-income nation) and Romania (middle-income) regarding their experience with arthroscopic surgery. Based on the responses from the …

Inflammatory and Immune Effects of Intra-Articular Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Horses
… representing synovitis, swelling and pain. Arthroscopic examination and synovial biopsies were taken at day 60 post-injection for histologic and molecular analyses. On day 120, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from each horse and co-cultured with monolayers of each MSC group …

Evaluating basic knee arthroscopy skills in orthopaedic trainees in a limited resourse setting
… The primary aim of this study was to assess the arthroscopic competency of orthopaedic trainees in a setting of limited resources. Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was carried out. Orthopaedic trainees of a Southern African university hospital performed basic arthroscopy on a …

Frontal Plane Humeral Elevation Effects on the Pullout Strength of Suture Anchors Used in Rotator Cuff Repair
… per year. Depending on the degree of tear, arthroscopic surgery may be needed to reattach the torn tendon to the humeral head. The current preferred method of surgery involves the insertion of a suture anchor into the humeral head that ties the detached tendon using sutures back to bone. …

The management of acute knee dislocations: a global survey of orthopaedic surgeons' strategies
… Surgeons from DEN favoured early, single stage arthroscopic ligament reconstruction. Significantly more EMDN surgeons preferred clinical examination (p<0.05) and duplex doppler scanning (p<0.05) compared to DEN surgeons. More surgeons from EMDN did not have access to a physiotherapist for their …
