  • To review the expansion of arthroscopic surgery beyond the knee.
  • To highlight current applications in the shoulder, wrist, and ankle.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current arthroscopic surgical practices.
  • Analysis of procedural advancements and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Shoulder arthroscopy is now a standard for addressing instability and rotator cuff pathologies.
  • Arthroscopic procedures are increasingly being adopted for wrist and ankle conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopic surgery has evolved significantly, offering effective solutions for various joints.
  • The trend indicates a continued expansion of arthroscopic interventions in orthopedic surgery.
