Arthroscopic planer is a commonly used instrument in arthroscopic surgery. It uses a high-speed rotating planer to remove the diseased tissue inside the joint. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique. The situation inside the joint is transmitted to the monitor through the camera device of the arthroscope, and the doctor performs the operation by observing the image on the monitor.
The working principle of the arthroscopic planer is to use the high-speed airflow generated by the rotation of the turbine to drive the planer to rotate rapidly, similar to the principle of an electric toothbrush. This planer is generally made of stainless steel or carbide and has high hardness and wear resistance. During the operation, the doctor observes the lesion through the arthroscopy, and then uses the arthroscopic planer to perform precise cutting to remove the diseased tissue.
The advantages of the arthroscopic planer are its high precision and good controllability. Since arthroscopic surgery does not require a large incision and only needs to enter the joint through a small hole, the surgical trauma is small and the recovery is fast. At the same time, the use of arthroscopic planers can reduce the operation time, relieve the patient's pain, and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
However, there are some limitations to the use of arthroscopic planers. First, it requires doctors to have a high level of technical skills and experience, because the success or failure of the operation depends largely on the doctor's operating skills. Secondly, the price of arthroscopic planers is relatively high, which also increases the economic burden of the operation. In addition, due to the complex internal structure of the joint, special care should be taken when using arthroscopic planers to avoid unnecessary damage.
In general, arthroscopic planers are one of the important tools for modern joint surgery. With the advancement of science and technology, the development of arthroscopic technology and related instruments will continue to advance, which is expected to further improve the success rate of surgery and reduce the pain and recovery time of patients.
