A medical procedure in which a tiny camera is inserted into a joint to examine or treat internal joint structures.
From Greek 'arthro-' meaning joint, 'endo-' meaning inside, and 'scopy' meaning viewing or examination, literally to see inside joints.
Arthroendoscopy revolutionized joint surgery—surgeons can now repair torn cartilage and ligaments through tiny holes instead of cutting open joints, reducing recovery time from months to weeks.
