    In the following group of intra-operative variables, which has the greatest impact on plasma formation, consistency and control?

    • Suction/Flow

    • Tissue quality

    • Space to work in the joint

    • Movement of the wand

    Correct Answer
    A. Suction/Flow
    Explanation
    Suction/Flow has the greatest impact on plasma formation, consistency, and control during surgery.

    Generally speaking with regards to Coblation, what are the two areas of knee arthroscopy that are the most widely adopted? in other words, what are the two easiest treatments to introduce a new surgeon to Coblation

    • ACL debridement and Lateral Release

    • Chondroplasty and Meniscectomy

    • Chondroplasty and Lateral Release

    • ACL debridement and Meniscectomy

    Correct Answer
    A. ACL debridement and Lateral Release
    Explanation
    ACL debridement and Lateral Release are the two easiest treatments to introduce a new surgeon to Coblation. These procedures are widely adopted in knee arthroscopy. ACL debridement involves removing damaged tissue from the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), while Lateral Release involves releasing tight structures on the outside of the knee to improve patellar tracking. Both procedures can be effectively performed using Coblation technology, which uses radiofrequency energy to remove tissue and create a controlled healing response. Therefore, these two treatments are commonly used as a starting point for surgeons learning to use Coblation in knee arthroscopy.
