ORLANDO, Fla. - November 1, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Dr. Vonda Wright, MD, MS, Orthopedic Sports Surgeon & President of Hughston Orthopaedics Southeast, partnered with UCF Lake Nona Hospital to bring a new arthroscopic technology to Central Florida. Nanotechnology allows patients the least invasive arthroscopic surgery currently available under local anesthesia while awake, without formal incisions, the need for post-operative narcotic pain control, and allows rapid recovery to normal.

The NanoScope visualization system, developed and manufactured by Arthrex, Inc. (Naples, FL), combines leading-edge technology in imaging sensors, LED Light, and image management. 

Dr. Wright developed this outpatient and in-office technique for knee surgery, meniscus debridement and repair, cartilage injuries, arthritis diagnosis and care. She is progressing the technology for the treatment of shoulder and hip and is the first to perform this range of procedures using nanotechnology in the region.

Patients meeting the criteria for use of nanotechnology do not require formal incisions, as the needle-sized 1.9mm chip-on-tip scope is placed via "ports of entry" under local anesthesia while patients are comfortable and awake, eliminating the need for general anesthesia and its sequela (see attached image).

"Nanoscope technology has been a game changer for my patients, as it allows them to be partners with me in their own medical care as they see their joints in real-time, understand the treatment and literally walk out of the procedure room with no incisions, require no post-operative narcotics and often no physical therapy. Their rapid recovery enables less time away from work and play. I believe it is the next leap forward in minimizing patient risk and optimizing recovery in musculoskeletal surgery." - Dr. Vonda Wright, MD, MS
