White's Arthrotomy

White arthrotomy is a surgical procedure used to treat diseases of the joints and ligaments. It was developed by the American surgeon James White at the beginning of the 20th century.

White arthrotomy involves the surgeon making an incision in the skin and muscle around the joint and then removing any damaged tissue. This improves blood circulation in the joint and reduces pain and swelling.

This procedure can be used to treat various joint diseases such as arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis and others. However, it is not always effective and can have serious complications such as infection, bleeding and damage to nearby tissue.

Nowadays, White arthrotomy is still used in some cases, but it is often replaced by more modern treatments such as hyaluronic acid injections or arthroscopic surgery.

White Arthrotomy was born in 1982 and is one of the most famous surgeons of our time. He received his medical degree from the university and then began his career at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Arthrotomy is a surgical intervention to open a joint for the purpose of diagnosing or treating intra-articular injuries and pathological changes. Such an intervention is carried out only using general anesthesia, since it is considered a very painful manipulation associated with potential bleeding. The patient is in a supine position throughout the procedure. The legs are placed on special shields or stands.
