Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopaedics
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Arthroscopy is expanding as a treatment for pediatric and adolescent orthopaedic conditions.
  • Procedures once exclusive to adults are now common in younger patients.
  • Advancements in smaller arthroscopic tools overcome joint space limitations in pediatric patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current literature on arthroscopy in pediatric and adolescent populations.
  • To provide treatment algorithms and rehabilitation guidelines for various pathologies.
  • To offer surgical tips for arthroscopic procedures in young individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of arthroscopic procedures in pediatric and adolescent patients.
  • Analysis of current indications for arthroscopy across multiple joints.
