However, controversy exists because two randomized controlled trials have produced conflicting findings with regards to efficacy.
In this Technical Note, we propose an approach to improve the existing knee positions using a metal round stool as a foot support. The method aims to reduce reliance on human assistants during knee arthroscopy procedures and restore the natural positioning of leg muscles, potentially improving procedural outcomes.
