MCP Arthroscopy - Live Surgery Tuesday With Dr. Badia

Description

In this medical procedure video, Alejandro Badia discusses the underutilization of MCP arthroscopy funding and demonstrates the use of a 1.9 scope for examining irregular and inflamed joints. He highlights the minimal invasiveness of the procedure, noting that the small portals used for access do not require stitches due to their size. Badia assesses the laxity and hyperextension present in the subject's MP joint, indicating a redundancy in the tissue. He proposes a tightening technique to correct this laxity, emphasizing the differences in tissue tightness on the ulnar and radial sides of the joint. The goal of the procedure is to prevent tendon subluxation when the patient makes a fist. Badia methodically outlines the areas he will address before proceeding to tighten the affected tissues.
