    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Context:

    • Arthroscopic surgery is increasingly utilized across various joints, including the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle, and wrist.
    • While beneficial for procedures like meniscal resection, the clinical value of other arthroscopic techniques is still under investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To review the current applications, benefits, and limitations of arthroscopic surgery in human and veterinary medicine.
    • To highlight the low morbidity and complication rates associated with arthroscopic procedures.

    Summary:

    • Arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive technique, is applicable to a wide range of joint conditions, from knee meniscus procedures to shoulder and hip joint treatments.
    • The procedure demonstrates significant advantages over traditional arthrotomy, particularly in terms of reduced recovery time, hospital stay, and costs, with excellent outcomes.
