Arthroscopic anatomy of the knee joint and portals
Abstract
Knee arthroscopy is one of the most used operative treatment in orthopaedic surgery. From a diagnostic to a method that resolves a wide range of pathologies has passed a long way. First knee arthroscopy was performed by prof. K. Takagi, from Tokio, Japan, in 1920. With further improvement he made first black and white photos of the inside of the knee (1932.), and, soon, the first color photos (1939.). Independently from Takagi, dr Eugen Bircher from Arau, Switzerland, in 1921.published the results of twenty ‘’arthro-endoscopies’’, and that was the first time word ‘’ARTHROSCOPY’’ was mentioned in literature. In New York, USA, dr Michael Burman describe in details the incisions points and technique of joint spreading that we use today. In 1957. Dr. Masaki Watanebe published the first Atlas of Arhroscopy. Dr R.W.Jackson’s lectures influenced a lot of surgeons in America, Europe and Australia. First Arthroscopy Course in English language was held in Philadelphia, USA, in 1972. International Arthroscopy Association, with Dr. Watanabe as president, was established in 1974. In clinical knee arthroscopy, the following division proved to be very useful: the medial compartment, the lateral compartment, the central part or central pivot, and the femoropatelar compartment. In this presentation, the normal anatomy of each of this part will be described in details, with the descriptions of basic knee arthroscopy portals.
