Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Arthroscopy, initially diagnostic, gained prominence in the 1970s due to integrated therapeutic applications.
  • Its minimally invasive nature fueled rapid adoption and widespread recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development and current status of arthroscopic surgery.
  • To highlight the indispensable role and advantages of arthroscopy in modern joint surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of arthroscopic technique dissemination and application.
  • Analysis of current applications across various joints and their therapeutic significance.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopy has evolved from knee-specific procedures to encompass virtually all joints.
