Application of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of joint diseases

Joint disease is one of the common diseases in the elderly, joint pain, swelling, limited mobility and other symptoms to the patient's life has brought great inconvenience. Traditional treatment methods often have problems such as large trauma and long recovery time. In recent years, with the continuous development of medical technology, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery with small trauma, quick recovery and significant effect has been widely used in the treatment of joint diseases, bringing new hope for patients.

1. arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery origin

Arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery is an orthopedic surgical technique that originated at the end of the 20th century. It uses endoscopic equipment to diagnose and treat joint diseases. This technique is hailed as one of the three major advances in orthopedics in the 20th century, alongside microsurgery and joint replacement techniques. With the passage of time, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery technology has been widely used in our country, and this kind of surgery can be performed in the joint surgery of tertiary hospitals.

Principles of 2. arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery

Arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery is an endoscope-based surgical method that observes and treats the interior of the joint by creating a tiny incision around the joint and inserting arthroscopes and surgical instruments.

Arthroscopy can transmit the image of the joint to the TV screen. Doctors can accurately remove, repair and reconstruct the lesion by observing the image.

Application of 3. arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery

1. Knee joint disease

Arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery can treat meniscus injury, anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injury, articular cartilage wear, synovitis and other diseases. Through surgery, the free body in the joint can be removed, the damaged cartilage and meniscus can be repaired, and the inflammatory synovial membrane can be removed, so as to relieve joint pain and improve joint function.

2. Hip joint disease

Hip arthroscopy minimally invasive surgery can treat hip dysplasia, hip impingement, hip synovitis and other diseases. Through surgery, the hip labrum can be repaired, the debris in the joint can be removed, and the inflammatory tissue can be removed, thereby reducing the pain and discomfort of the patient.

3. Shoulder joint disease

Arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery can treat rotator cuff injury, shoulder dislocation, shoulder labrum injury and other diseases. During the operation, it can repair the damaged rotator cuff, repair the shoulder labrum, remove the free body in the shoulder joint, etc., effectively relieve the shoulder pain and improve the function of the shoulder joint.

4. Ankle joint disease

Ankle arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery can treat ankle sprain, fracture, cartilage injury and other diseases. Through surgery, it can remove the debris in the ankle joint, repair the damaged cartilage, and remove the inflammatory tissue, so as to improve the function of the ankle joint.

Advantages of 4. arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery

1. Small trauma: the operation only needs to establish a small incision around the joint, which is less traumatic and less painful after surgery than traditional surgery.

2. Fast recovery: Minimally invasive surgery has less damage to the tissues around the joints, and patients can recover their joint mobility faster and shorten their hospital stay.

3. The curative effect is remarkable: the operation can accurately remove the diseased tissue, effectively improve the joint function, and the treatment effect is remarkable.

Fewer complications: Surgery reduces the risk of complications such as postoperative infection, bleeding, and nerve damage.

5. The cosmetic effect is good: the surgical incision is small, the postoperative scar is not obvious, and it has a good cosmetic effect.

5. postoperative precautions

1. Follow the doctor's advice: Patients should follow the doctor's advice for rehabilitation exercises and regular review.

2. Rest and activities: appropriate rest should be taken at the beginning of the operation to avoid overwork. As the rehabilitation progresses, the amount of activity can be gradually increased.

3. Diet conditioning

(1) Rich nutrition: postoperative diet should pay attention to balanced nutrition, eat more foods rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, which is conducive to wound healing and body recovery.

(2) high iron food: iron rich food helps red blood cell production, promote wound healing. Can choose lean meat, animal blood, red dates, black fungus and other food.

(3) Foods rich in collagen: collagen has a positive effect on the repair of joints. Can moderate intake of pig trotters, chicken feet and other foods rich in collagen.

(4) Antioxidant foods: Eat foods rich in antioxidants, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, to reduce oxidative stress and promote wound healing.

(5) Easily digestible foods: In the early postoperative period, patients may experience digestive system discomfort, so they should choose easily digestible foods, such as porridge, noodles, stews, etc.

(6) Control intake: Patients should control their diet according to the doctor's advice to avoid obesity and reduce the burden on joints.

(7) Avoid allergic foods: Patients should avoid eating foods that may cause allergic reactions, such as seafood, peanuts, soybeans, etc.

4. Prevent infection: Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid infection.

In short, arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery has obvious advantages in the treatment of joint diseases and brings a better quality of life for patients. However, when patients choose surgical treatment, they also need to combine their own conditions and follow the advice of professional doctors to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the operation. In the process of postoperative rehabilitation, following the doctor's advice and maintaining good living habits are also important factors for the success of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery.
