Arthroscopy

/ɑrˈθrɑskəpi/ noun

Definition

A minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems by inserting a thin, flexible camera (arthroscope) through small incisions. Most commonly performed on knees, shoulders, and hips.

Etymology

From Greek 'arthron' (joint) and 'skopein' (to look or examine), literally meaning 'joint examination.' The technique was developed in the 1960s by Japanese orthopedist Masaki Watanabe, revolutionizing joint surgery.

Kelly Says

Arthroscopy lets surgeons work inside joints through incisions smaller than a buttonhole, using instruments no thicker than pencils while watching their work on high-definition screens! This technique has transformed sports medicine - athletes who once faced career-ending injuries can now return to play in months instead of being permanently sidelined.
