It is also applied to outside the joint cavities, such as in the bursae (Verdonk et al., 1988; Klein, 1996; Bradley & Dillingham, 1998; Ogilvie-Harris & Gilbart, 2000), bone marrow of femur or tibia (Roberts et al., 2000,2001; Kwak et al., 2009), and around the tendon sheath (van Dijk et al., 1997, 1998; Steenstra & van Dijk, 2006; Lui, 2007). We describe herein extra-articular arthroscopy using a lifting hanger.
