Specialists at the AGEL Jeseník hospital are now performing joint nanoscopy under local anesthesia. This method can be used in patients for a gentle and fast diagnosis not only in the knee joint.
The hospital in Jeseník is one of the few hospitals that performs this procedure under local anesthesia. This method also partially replaces magnetic resonance imaging which is not well available. It is also advantageous that mild therapeutic interventions such as meniscus or cartilage treatment can be performed during diagnosis.
“It is a thin optic the width of a thick sample needle, which is inserted into the joint administered to the patient under local anesthesia. At the same time, the patient can watch the screen with the doctor and at the same time discuss his findings with him,” said the head of the orthopedic hospital and JPL in Jeseník Jozef Janošec. Nanoarthroscopy is also fully covered by health insurance

The whole procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes. After surgery, patients go for treatment at home and can immediately drive a car, for example. “Therefore, there is no need for postoperative hospitalization in the ward and restrictions after general anesthesia, including lengthy preoperative examinations,”the principal explained.
According to him, patients need not be afraid of nanoscopy. “This is a modern, concise and gentle diagnostic procedure with the possibility of treating several problems immediately. Whether you have long-term pain or a condition following an injury to a specific joint. Overall, the time for diagnosis and treatment of your problem will be shortened,” added the mayor.
