Arthroscopy (Subscribe)  

Radiofrequency-generating energy devices have been used clinically in musculoskeletal procedures to provide hemostasis and capsular shrinkage (thermal capsulorrhaphy). However, the dose-effects are not well known.
Questions/Purposes We therefore determined dosage effects of radiofrequency energy on bone, skin incisions, and joint capsule in sheep.
Conclusions Hemostasis can be achieved with radiofrequency energy at 190f in...
