A virtual arthroscopy is a simulation of optical arthroscopy that reconstructs anatomical structures from tomographic images in joint region such as a knee, a shoulder and a wrist. In this paper, we propose a virtual arthroscopy based on isosurface raycasting, which is a kind of volume rendering methods for generating 3D images within a short time. Our method exploits a spatial data structure called min-max map to produce high-quality images in near real-time. Also we devise a physically-based camera control model using potential field. So a virtual camera can fly through in articular cavity without restriction. Using the high-speed rendering method and realistic camera control model, we developed a virtual arthroscopy system.

Septic arthritis in neonates is a rare condition. A failure to make an early diagnosis of septic arthritis in neonates may leave a permanent disability as a result of a delayed treatment. Thus, septic arthritis, requires a prompt diagnosis and a timely treatment especially in this subset of patients. In this case report, we describe our treatment protocol for septic arthritis and concurrent osteomyelitis in the right shoulder of a 28-day-old newborn. Using 2.4 mm wrist arthroscopy, we performed an arthroscopic irrigation and drainage, to remove intra-articular debris and inflammatory tissue, and multiple drilling. We report a satisfactory clinical outcome without any postoperative complications or side effects.

Purpose : To evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic management of the triangular fibrocartilage complex(TFCC). Materials and Methods : Thirteen patients(14 wrists) with acute or chronic traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex lesions were included in the study. The mean patients' age was 28.3 years, with a range of 21 to 45 years. All patients were diagnosed by physical examination, arthrographic or magnetic resonance imaging studies. Eight of the 14 wrists had central TFCC tear while 6 wrists had peripheral tear. Under arthroscopic control, injuries to the central portions were treated by debridement and excision of unstable tissue fragment while peripheral tears were repaired. The follow-up period averaged 28 months. The results were analyzed clinically using the Mayo modification of the Green and O' Brien wrist scoring system. Results : Nine of the 14 wrists were rated excellent,3 good and 2 fair Overall, 12 of the 14 patients rated as satisfactory and returned to sports or work activities. Conclusion : Arthroscopic treatment of TFCC resulted in a high degree of patient satisfaction and an increase in the ability to perform at workshop.
