Area of Science:

Veterinary Surgery
Equine Orthopedics

Background:

Arthroscopic surgery is increasingly preferred over arthrotomy in equine practice.
This minimally invasive technique allows for numerous diagnostic and surgical procedures with limited equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the importance of arthroscopic surgery in equine practice.
To emphasize the necessity of anatomical knowledge for successful arthroscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

Review of current arthroscopic surgical techniques in equine practice.
Discussion of the role of regional and intraarticular anatomy in surgical approaches.

Main Results:

Arthroscopic surgery offers a versatile approach for equine joint procedures.
Adequate anatomical knowledge is essential for optimal surgical outcomes and complication avoidance.

Conclusions:

Arthroscopic surgery is a valuable tool in equine veterinary medicine.
Surgeons must possess thorough knowledge of equine anatomy for effective arthroscopic interventions.
