ICG Fluorescence in Knee Arthroscopy Study
The purpose of this study is to first evaluate whether ICG fluorescence angiography can be used to evaluate blood flow of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), tendons, and knee structures during an arthroscopic surgery. The secondary purpose is to evaluate differences in the blood flow in patients with varying grades of ACL tears. To determine optimal intravenous dose of SPY Agent Green and time to visualize fluorescence in tendons and structures intraoperatively during arthroscopic surgery (if primary objective is deemed yes). We hypothesize that ICG will be effective in evaluating blood flow in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
