Arthrotomy According to Oshman

Arthrotomy is a surgical operation aimed at eliminating arthrosis of the joint. Arthrotomy was developed in the late 19th century by Czech surgeon Jan Stefan Oschman.

Oshman arthrotomy is one of the most effective ways to treat arthrosis of the joints. The operation involves removing part of the cartilage and synovial fluid from the joint and replacing it with new material. This allows you to reduce friction between joints, improve their mobility and reduce the risk of complications.

Arthrotomy surgery can be performed on one or several joints. It can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. After the operation, the patient remains in the hospital for several days to a week, after which he can return to normal life.

One of the advantages of Oshman arthrotomy is that it allows the joint capsule and ligaments to be preserved, which reduces the risk of postoperative complications. In addition, the operation avoids replacing the joint with an artificial one, which significantly reduces the cost of treatment.

However, like any surgery, arthrotomy has its risks and can lead to complications such as infection, bleeding, and damage to nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, before the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the patient and choose the optimal treatment method.
