Educators explain to practicing orthopedic surgeons and sports medicine surgeons the procedures for diagnostic and therapeutic use of arthroscopic techniques on the knee. Their topics include positioning and set-up, the 10-point exam, meniscal repair, osteochondral transplantation, pediatric osteochondral injuries, a trans-tibial endoscopic hybrid technique for the single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using patellar tendon grafts, the arthroscopically assisted internal fixation of tibia spine avulsion fracture, and the arthroscopic treatment of arthrofibrosis of the knee. Color photographs and images are used throughout to illustrate the procedures being described.
