Rehabilitation arthroscopy of a large joint
Removal of the infectious process from the joint cavity to restore its normal functioning.
Bacterial infections of the joints, such as septic arthritis, are serious pathologies in which the infection penetrates into the joint cavity, causing inflammation and accumulation of purulent exudate.
Sanation arthroscopy is a key method of treating such infections, allowing minimally traumatic removal of purulent contents and infected tissues, rinsing the joint cavity and preventing further spread of infection. Surgery is necessary when conservative therapy (antibiotics and punctures) cannot cope with the infection. The procedure is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscopic equipment that allows the surgeon to visualize and treat the affected areas of the joint through small incisions.
Blood type and Rh factor. Biochemical research. Coagulogram for the assessment of blood clotting. General blood and urine analysis Radiography and MRI or CT to visualize the condition of bones and surrounding tissues (determined at the initial consultation) Examination for the presence of infectious diseases (HIV, hepatitis). Inoculation for antibiotic sensitivity for the choice of antibacterial therapy. ECG and fluorography. Ultrasound of the veins of the lower extremities. ECHO of KG and EGDS with a long history of the disease, with constant use of painkillers. Consultation with an anesthesiologist and therapist. An endocrinologist if surgery is necessary.
Arthroscopic rehabilitation is performed under anesthesia or conduction anesthesia. The doctor makes several small punctures: one for the insertion of an arthroscope with a video camera and two for surgical instruments. Irrigation fluid is injected into the joint cavity to expand the joint and facilitate access to the affected areas. The surgeon examines the joint cavity, removes purulent masses, infected tissues, and also rinses the cavity with antiseptic solutions. If necessary, pathological neoplasms (for example, osteophytes or cysts) can be removed, as well as cartilage plastic surgery and excision of inflamed synovial membranes.
An arthroscope with a video camera for visualization of the joint. Surgical instruments for removing pus and infected tissues. Irrigation system.
After surgery, the patient stays in the hospital for one to three days, depending on the severity of the infection and the extent of the intervention. In the first days after surgery, it is recommended to raise the operated joint to an elevation to reduce swelling, provide the joint with rest, and conduct early physical exercises under the supervision of a doctor. Full recovery takes from a few weeks to several months.

Useful information
Olecranon fractures
Olecranon has little or no muscle or other soft tissue protection, making it vulnerable to damage from falls and impacts. The olecranon is the most prominent of the bones forming the elbow joint, specifically the ulna. It attaches to the triceps and, along with the humerus, constitutes the elbow joint, which is responsible for bending and extending the arm. Olecranon fractures vary in complexity. They can be simple, with no displacement of bone fragments, or complex, with damage to the articular surface of the ulna and displacement of fragments by triceps traction. Such fractures cause a loss of extension in the elbow joint, resulting from the disruption of the triceps' connection with the forearm.
Forearm fractures
The forearm is composed of two bones, the radius and ulna, which are connected by a firm interosseous membrane and ligaments at the elbow and wrist joints. Due to their intricate structure, defined by numerous curvatures, these bones constitute five joints. The forearm enables flexion and extension at the elbow and wrist joints, as well as the rotation of the hand (pronation and supination) through the movement of the radius around the ulna.
Rotator cuff rupture
An injury characterized by damage to the tendons that surround the shoulder joint and ensure its mobility.
Impeachment-shoulder joint syndrome
Impingement syndrome (subacromial syndrome) is a condition in which the tendons of the rotator cuff of the shoulder are pinched between the acromion and the head of the humerus, which causes pain and limited movement in the shoulder joint.

Slipped, fell, woke up — plaster cast: about fracture treatment

What is the danger of flat feet and how to treat it?
Flat feet are an orthopedic problem in which the shape of the foot changes, its longitudinal and/or transverse arch decreases. Normally, the arches of the foot are responsible for cushioning and even distribution of the load when walking and running. But with flat feet, the foot cannot spring properly, which increases the load on the bones, joints and muscles of the legs.
What should I do if my ligaments are damaged?
Ligament damage is an injury in which there is a violation of the integrity of the fibers that make up the ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to each other, stabilizing joints and preventing their excessive movement. They are made up of collagen fibers, which give them strength and elasticity. But under the external influence of the ligament, the length of the ligaments almost does not change, so the fibers can rupture. Ligaments are damaged due to excessive stretching or sudden movement exceeding their normal amplitude. This can happen if you land incorrectly after a jump, fall, abruptly change the direction of movement or a direct blow to the joint.
