Abstract

Knee arthroscopy has allowed us to continue performing surgeries that are minimally invasive and allow patients to have a quick recovery. Multiligamentous knee reconstruction with regards to the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament can be done in a minimally invasive matter. Visualization is an issue during this surgery, especially looking in the posterior compartment of the knee. The NanoScope (Arthrex, Naples, FL) continues to provide increased possibilities for orthopaedic surgeons. Our technique provides a less-invasive way to observe the posterior compartment to assist the drilling of the tibial tunnel during the posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique provides distinct advantages over other treatments.<br /> (© 2021 by the Arthroscopy Association of North America. Published by Elsevier.)
