Official title
Randomized Study Evaluating Cost of Arthrex Nano Arthroscopy Products in Arthroscopic Knee ACL Surgery Versus Conventional Arthroscopy
Overview
The study is a pilot study designed to generate preliminary data regarding the cost of ACL surgery using NanoScope versus conventional arthroscopy in a traditional operating room (OR) setting.
Interventions
- Device ACL surgery using Arthrex NanoScope
The rod-lens arthroscope has been the standard of care in the operating room for more than 40 years. Arthrex's all-in-one disposable, 2 mm, chip-on-tip camera system now allows surgeons to miniaturize their treatment solutions. - Procedure ACL surgery using conventional arthroscopy
Conventional arthroscopy using standard of care equipment
Primary outcome measures
- Compare patient satisfaction for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) surgery when using either Arthrex Nanoscope 2.0 or conventional arthroscopy. [Time frame: From enrollment to 2 years]
