The operation steps of the shoulder arthroscopy examination model

The shoulder arthroscopy model is a specialized teaching aid used in clinical teaching and skills training, capable of simulating the anatomical structure of the shoulder joint and the operating environment under the microscope. The operation steps generally include the following several links:

First of all, trainees need to be familiar with the structure of the model and confirm the positions of the joint cavity, endoscope opening and operation channel. Subsequently, routine preparatory work is carried out, such as simulating aseptic disinfection and laying out towels.

Secondly, the arthroscope is inserted into the joint cavity through the designated approach, and with the assistance of a light source and a fluid perfusion system, the structural conditions within the joint cavity are observed, including the glenohumeral joint, glenoid and related ligaments.

Then, through the preset operation channels of the model, trainees can practice exploration, flushing and basic operation skills, and master the methods of moving and positioning the arthroscope within the cavity.

During the operation, it is important to handle the technique gently and steadily to avoid excessive force that may damage the model structure. After the training is completed, the light source and perfusion system should be turned off, the arthroscope removed, and the model cleaned and properly stored. This step of training helps trainees become familiar with the process and key points of shoulder arthroscopy and enhance their clinical practical skills.
