Excerpt

Currently, radiofrequency (RF) devices are widely used because of their speed and convenience during arthroscopic surgery, including meniscectomy. Discoid meniscus is a common cause of knee pain, giving way, snapping, clunking and locking in children, and arthroscopic meniscectomy is often performed to relieve these symptoms. Although complications related to RF devices have been reported [1, 2], these are few in number. Generally, the RF device is considered safe if used correctly. However, we experienced a case of chondronecrosis of the knee after lateral discoid meniscectomy from using an RF device. The patient and her parents gave informed consent for submission of data for publication. …

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
