Electro surgical treatment for cartilage lesions

  Posted by Picasa

Mr.WR, An American underwent bilateral arthroscopic surgery for patellar and knee cartilage lesions.
Although he is only 28 years old, martial arts practice had lead to fissuring of his knee cap's cartilage. This was treated by the new technique of Electro-cautery in which a radiofrequency device is applied to the swollen areas to shrink the deep layer of damage. Stable edges were achieved by careful mechanical means.
Having lost a lot of weight, he utilised this opportunity of availing Cosmetic surgey under the same anesthetic.
