Pediatric arthroscopy, or joint scope surgery, is advancing rapidly for children and adolescents. Special techniques ensure safety and effective treatment for pediatric joint conditions, mirroring adult surgery benefits.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Orthopedics
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Innovation

Background:

Arthroscopic surgery in pediatric patients is rapidly evolving.
Advancements stem from adult arthroscopy, pediatric joint disorder knowledge, and instrument miniaturization.
Key considerations include small joint size and proximity to growth plates.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the specificities of arthroscopic surgery in children and adolescents.
To discuss adapted techniques and equipment necessary for pediatric arthroscopy.
To emphasize the safety and benefits of arthroscopy in the pediatric population.

Main Methods:

Review of current techniques and equipment in pediatric arthroscopy.
Discussion of anatomical and pathological differences in pediatric joints.

Analysis of indications and precautions for arthroscopic procedures in children.

Main Results:

Arthroscopy is feasible even in infants, with careful attention to growth plates and residual growth.
The knee is the most commonly operated joint due to sports injuries.
Arthroscopy offers advantages like simpler recovery and better cosmetic outcomes compared to open surgery.

Conclusions:

Pediatric arthroscopy is safe when indications are understood and precautions are taken.
Adapted techniques are crucial for respecting pediatric anatomical structures, especially growth plates.
The field of pediatric arthroscopy is expected to continue its development and application.
