title: Simplified technique for posterior knee arthroscopy.
abstract: Diagnostic and surgical knee arthroscopy occasionally requires a posterior knee puncture. Unfortunately, posterior arthroscope insertion can be a difficult and frustrating experience. The technique described attempts to obviate some of these problems. The merits of the technique include speed, safety, and consistency, while at the same time not requiring the purchase of yet another expensive arthroscopic device.
