Abstract

In-office needle arthroscopy (IONA) has been available in various iterations for decades. Studies have described it as comparable if not superior to magnetic resonance imaging for identifying intra-articular pathology with associated cost savings per patient. A new IONA system has been brought to market with a modernized user interface and disposable handpieces offering the opportunity to address intra-articular pathology. This article outlines the use of this IONA system for the postoperative evaluation of an osteochondral allograft transplant.
