An Effective Non-Invasive Joint Distraction Technique for Ankle Arthroscopy
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Both invasive and non-invasive methods of ankle joint distraction for arthroscopic procedures have been described. Challenges prevail in achieving an adequate joint distraction for instrumentation inside the ankle joint especially in patients of large stature. We describe a technique, which safely offers effective joint distraction during ankle arthroscopy without the need for resorting to traction pin.
