Question

Operative Report Summary Preoperative diagnosis: Septic arthritis of the left knee Orthopedic procedure: Arthroscopic examination, culture, arthroplasty left knee A large bore cannula was introduced from the upper and medial quadrant of the knee joint through a stab incision (arthrotomy). The trocar was removed and pyorrhea was observed. A swab was sent for culture. All pus was aspirated and the knee joint irrigated then inflated with 3 L of saline. The arthroscope was introduced through the inferior lateral quadrant of the knee through a similar stab incision. The knee was inspected and the entire field looked inflamed. The patella showed grade 2 chondromalacia, and the patella was tilted only in contact with the lateral condyle at about 30 degrees suggesting chronic patellar malalignment. The medial meniscus showed evidence of much more inflammation than the condyle, the margins thick, and fraying.... The scope was moved to the mediolateral side and inspected. ... A motorized synovial cutter was introduced, and a partial synovectomy was performed; the soft cartilage of the patellar facets were shaved. The ends of the meniscus were trimmed (meniscectomy). The wound was irrigated with saline, Maracaine instilled, and a hemovac drain inserted through one of the cannulas before the instruments were removed. A padded dressing and knee immobilizer was applied and hemovac attached to its bag. The patient was transferred to the recovery room in excellent condition 1. Reddened and swollen 2.
