Chapter 11 Introduction Using fibre optics the arthroscope is able to deliver light and obtain an image from within the joint thus obviating the need for an extensive surgical approach and keeping surgical trauma to soft tissues at a minimum. However, arthroscopy is not a risk free procedure as it involves placing sharp metal objects into the joint space. Standard Arthroscope, 4.0mm with Arthroscopic Sheath Although arthroscopy may be considered expensive in terms of both the dedicated instrumentation required and the time and money involved in training, it is recommended that sufficient resources are allocated to purchase good quality equipment at the outset. (Equipment failures being very frustrating and ultimately very expensive.) Arthroscopes An arthroscope is a rigid endoscope consisting of a system of lenses, which collects and transmits an image from the tip of the instrument along the shaft to an eyepiece or camera. A light post close to the eyepiece allows light to be passed into the shaft and down optic fibres surrounding the lens system to illuminate the subject area at the tip. The diameter refers to the outside diameter of the unsheathed shaft of the telescope. Two sizes are commonly used in equinel arthoscopy:4.0mm and 2.7mm. 4.0mm is the standard, with 2.7 being useful for small joints like the coffin joint. The viewing angle is the angle between the lens face and a line drawn at right angles to the long axis of the arthroscope. A 0 scope views straight ahead from the front of the lens, while a 90 scope sees an image at right angles to the long axis of the scope. Most veterinary arthroscopes have a viewing angle of 30, which is a compromise between field of view and distortion. The user needs to be aware which way the lens is pointing. The light post is used as a reference point and is positioned opposite the angle of view. Rotating the scope along its long axis will allow the surgeon to view a large area within the joint with minimal repositioning. An oblique viewing angle does offer the surgeon a limited ability to see around corners. 115 degree field of vision special coated front lense system elongated working lengths non rotating stopcock, robust and durable T181-4030 Wide angle telescope, 30, OD:4 mm, WL:18 cm, 115 field of vision, standard light cable connectors, autoclavable 2200.00 S180-4031 Sheath for arthroscopy, OD: 5.5 mm, WL:16 cm compatible with T181-4030, stopcock, including blunt & sharp trochar 350.00 Needle Arthroscope, 2.7mm with Arthroscopic Sheath Each arthroscope will require a dedicated sheath, which protects the arthroscope as well as delivering fluid to the tip. Sheaths offering a high rate of flow are preferable. The sheath reduces the effective working length of the 4.0mm scope to approx 16.0cm. Conversely, the sheath will increase the working diameter of the arthroscope. 4.0mm becomes 5.5mm. All scopes are now available in autoclaveable versions. Autoclaving, especially for fine scopes, will significantly reduce the working life of the instrument. Autoclavable scopes can be soaked & we recommend this method of sterilisation to preserve your scope. If your scope is not marked autoclavable, it can only be soaked.

Rongeurs Standard Line Instruments High quality instruments with long life span specifically designed for arthroscopy. Standard Handle type, small jaws, extremely durable Light Sources & Cables Halogen light sources are inexpensive but not as good as the xenon based systems, which are, unfortunately, significantly more expensive to purchase and maintain. Xenon light sources have a higher intensity and are essential if the unit is to be used for laparoscopic work. Thus xenon is preferable but halogen can be used successfully in most joint investigations. Both xenon and halogen bulbs have a limited life (xenon typically 500 hours, halogen typically 2000 hours) and bulb failure is at best embarrassing so always carry a spare. The light cable carries light from the source to the arthroscope by fibre optics. Each cable has dedicated connectors to couple with the light source and the arthroscope. Connections on both light source and arthroscope vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Converters are available for both light source and arthroscope but it is wise, if possible, to purchase the appropriate cable for the system.

www.vetinst.com ARTHROSCOPY & LAPAROSCOPY 11 Cameras & Monitors Direct viewing of the joint through the eyepiece is possible. However, practicality and the issue of contamination dictate that a camera system is an essential part of the equipment. Arthroscopic cameras work in a very similar fashion to video cameras in common usage. The image at the eyepiece of the arthroscope is focussed on a light responsive electronic chip(s). The signal created is transferred to a camera controller, which processes the image into a signal recognised by the monitor and/or recording system. Most veterinary cameras have a single chip, which is sufficient for most users. The connection of the camera head to the eyepiece of the arthroscope is also variable. To maximise the choice and longevity of the instrumentation it is advised that a clip on camera head compatible with DIN standard eyepieces be selected. The camera heads are fully immersible. Top quality equipment from a major human arthroscopic company but at a discount price. It is important to obtain the best possible image. Arthroscopy is difficult enough without working with poor quality images. Buy the best scope and camera you can afford. The Eagle Eye camera is human quality as is the matching light source.

Some pre-owned units are always available. Ring for details. Image Capture Good practice dictates that a record is made of any arthroscopic procedure. Subsequent investigations can be compared to earlier ones and images can be shared and compared with colleagues or tutors as part of a training programme. Domestic video recorders will create a permanent record of a procedure. However the data is relatively crude and difficult to manipulate. Still video printers capture an image from a video stream which can then be printed onto photographic paper. Digital video and data storage technology now allows the surgeon to record and store very large amounts of data in a digital format. The digital information can subsequently be manipulated by appropriate computer software to create both still and moving images in a variety of formats for storage or display. If clinical presentations are anticipated then a digital system is very desirable. Domestic DVD or combined DVD/Hard drive recorders offer huge storage capacities at reasonable prices. The data is stored as Digital Video (DV) which can be converted into many other formats. The major arthroscopy companies offer sophisticated data storage systems which are able to capture and store still and movie files via sterile touch screens or camera finger controls. Permanent records are maintained on DVD discs or computer hard drives. We usually have some pre-owned Sony video printers in stock. Ring for details.

Fluid Infusion and Outflow Infusion of fluids or gas into the joint is essential to create an environment in which the arthroscope can view joint structures. The joint must be expanded and debris removed to maintain a clear field of view. To maintain an appropriate intra-articular pressure (between 40 and 100mm of mercury) (0.053 and 0.133 BAR) fluid inflow and outflow must be carefully regulated. Fluid under pressure may be obtained by either gravity feed systems or a pump. Gravity may be sufficient provided the fluid bags can be lifted high enough but greater, more controllable pressure may be obtained by use of a fluid compression bag. The bag of fluid to be infused is placed into a pressure bag, which is inflated using a hand or machine pump. Without careful monitoring hand inflation systems offer erratic pressure levels and use of a regulated pump offers much better control. A carbon dioxide powered pump may be used to pressurize a compression bag or infuse carbon dioxide directly into the joint. Dedicated roller type pumps are able to maintain a constant line pressure over extended periods but they may require dedicated tubing, are expensive to purchase and are more prone to breakdown. To create fluid flow through the joint, appropriate fluid outflow or egress must be maintained. In the smaller joints (elbow, hock and hip), a large bore hypodermic needle may be sufficient. In the larger joints (shoulder, stifle) where greater volumes of fluid are involved, dedicated multi fenestrated egress cannulae may be necessary, the waste fluid may be collected by either bag systems or suction devices. Use of direct CO2 infusion is indicated in some inflamed joints where inflammatory synovial villae obstruct the visual field, the villae being flattened under gas pressure rather than floating free in infused fluid. In addition, use of CO2 increases the field of view and image clarity of the arthroscope. CO2 is usually used intermittently with fluid to allow for flushing.

www.vetinst.com ARTHROSCOPY & LAPAROSCOPY 11 Shaver Systems Virtually the only powered instrument in use in Veterinary arthroscopy is the shaver. The shaver is essentially a motorized bur. It may be used to debride cartilage, bone or soft tissues. A range of tips of different designs and sizes are available to manage the different tissues. Tips designed for soft tissues are typically larger and more aggressively toothed. Suction may be applied to the cutting tip via the hand piece to remove debris. The hand piece is driven by a control box operated by finger or foot controls. The speed and direction of cut are selectable. The tips are usually designed to be disposable, however with careful use, cleaning and re-sterilisation they may be re-used. Very expensive to buy new, Veterinary Instrumentation maintains a stock of high quality ex-hospital units for sale. Phone for details. Linvatec Shaver The Linvatec Shaver System is very interesting from a veterinary arthroscopy point of view as it is able to use 2.0mm micro burs. Other major brands have a minumum blade diameter of 2.8mm which may not seem a very big difference but is almost half as big again. Electrocautery Arthroscopic electrocautery or radiofrequency devices focally create heat within the tissues to create haemostasis, debridement or to shrink the joint capsule in selected cases of instability. Long, fine insulated probes are available which may be powered by standard surgical electrocautery units. The tips are bathed in fluid at all times but essentially the same processes occur at the tissue level as in surgical electrosurgery. Radiofrequency devices create heat by inter-molecular friction. Tips are available in both monopolar and bipolar formats and may be used to debride structures such as damaged meniscus or fat pad. Capsular shrinkage by radiofrequency may be used to tighten joint capsules following arthroscopy or injury. Radiofrequency ablation dissolves intra-articular tissues at a relatively low temperature. The resulting debris is removed by suction. The technique is therefore an alternative to the shaver for removing soft tissues. At least one manufacturer supplies combined shaver blades and ablator wands which offer both options on the same intra-articular device.
