In this episode we get into the OR and start the surgery.  It all begins with the TIME OUT. I review my approach and tips on marking the arthrotomy.  I work in a circular fashion - medial release followed by superior followed by lateral and will review what I do and why.  The removal of osteophytes at this point are important in my mind to increase exposure and decrease the risk of marginal fractures when using the saw later.
