We are excited to report that Dr. Gilmer and Dr. Crall recently completed their first 'nano' arthroscopy in both the shoulder and knee. While we have been using this new technology diagnostically for some time, we recently trialed doing complete procedures with very encouraging results. The instruments are half the size of standard arthroscopy instruments and required much less fluid which we anticipate will lead to less post-operative pain and swelling. This opportunity has us hopeful that we will see soon see a time where we can operate with both hands and be free from one hand always holding the camera. The lighter size and weight of the camera and light source are making a lot of new things possible. Dr. Knecht hopes to move be able to utilize this in the future for his ankle arthroscopy procedures as well.
