ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for inserting an arthroscope into a knee. A stiff wire probe is shaped to be inserted through an anterior portal of the knee, to pass through the posteromedial cavity, or any other knee cavity, and thence emerge out through the skin. A tapered sleeve having one end configured to connect to the probe and another end configured to receive the arthroscope in a slip fit connects the arthroscope to the probe. Once the arthroscope is received in the sleeve, the arthroscope is pushed into position. Thereafter, the probe and sleeve are withdrawn through the anterior portal.
