A Novel Device to Prevent Undesired Arthroscopic Camera Rotation
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Science and Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: This experimental study intends to test a novel device for preventing unintentional camera rotation during arthroscopic knee procedures. Methods: The system consists on a multi-axis gyroscopic sensor that can be universally attached to any camera model in the market. A preliminary experience was designed to evaluate the operability of the device during actual arthroscopic meniscectomies. Results: The system provided accurate real-time insight about camera orientation in relation to a selected working plane. The system is more useful when used within the tibio-femoral space and in the anterior (suprapatellar) compartment. Conclusion: This device is able to assist orthopedics trainees and novel surgeons during arthroscopic training, reducing undesired camera rotation, disorientation, fatigue and surgical times.
