Arthroscopic retrieval of loose bodies.
Using an ordinary metallic suction tube through a separate puncture wound, we were able to retrieve a free-floating loose body by suction action. We facilitated its retrieval by using conveniently located grasping forceps. This combination reproduces the action of commercially available suction loose body forceps.
