A solution for arthroscope misting.

Abstract

A prospective study was undertaken to compare the incidence of arthroscope eyepiece misting in two groups of patients. In one group the irrigation fluid was at room temperature and in the other group the fluid was warmed to body temperature. Arthroscope eyepiece misting was eliminated when irrigation fluid at body temperature was used.

This article describes a simple technique for the use of a #66 Beaver blade to assist in the resection of bucket-handle meniscus tears. This is a standard ophthalmologic blade and should be readily available in most operating rooms. The technique described is a simple, inexpensive means of resecting bucket-handle tears without changing portals during the procedure.
