Abstract:Background: Upper extremity arthroscopic surgery is a highly technique-dependent procedure that requires the surgeon to assess difficult cartilage conditions and manage the risk of iatrogenic damage to nerves and vessels adjacent to the joint capsule in a confined joint space, and a device that can safely assist in this procedure has been in demand. Methods: In this study, we developed a small intra-articular ultrasound (AUS) probe for upper extremity joint surgery, evaluated its safety using underwater sound … Show more
