Process and instrumentation for arthroscopic reduction of central and peripheral depression fractures

摘要

A process with special instruments to Arthroscopically reduce certain joint fractures in humans and animals. The instruments are shaped and sized so as to afford remote manipulation of bone fragments, while viewing the procedure with an arthroscope and a fluoroscope in a C Arm. The process utilizes a lateral approach. This process with the instruments allows a skilled surgeon to affect an anatomically correct joint surface and then bone graft any bone deficit, all through small incisions local to the joint.
