Abstract

The outpatient surgical unit is an excellent and safe setting for many orthopedic procedures heretofore performed in the regular operating room. It is convenient and less expensive to do many open procedures such as correction of toe deformities or more sophisticated operations such as knee arthroscopic surgery in the outpatient unit. If scheduling time is available, the outpatient unit can be used for acute trauma cases requiring anesthesia. However, our outpatient surgical unit is located close to a hospital with an emergency department equipped with roentgenographic and other equipment for the management of fractures, so these cases and other emergencies are not treated in the outpatient unit. Therefore, a discussion of fractures is not included in this text. The special equipment required for orthopedic procedures is an array of instruments, x-ray facility, fluoroscopy, and television monitoring for knee arthroscopy.
