title: [Arthroscopy in pediatric orthopedics].
abstract: Based on his own material, author for the first time in the Hungarian literature discusses the special points of arthroscopy in childhood and adolescence. Within a period of 18 months, 64 knee arthroscopies were performed on patients with the mean age of 14.9 years. In 17 cases arthroscopy was followed by surgical exposure of the joint, while 14 of the cases remained only diagnostic interventions. Arthroscopic intraarticular surgery was performed in 33 knees. Based on the analysis of the latter two groups it is stated that arthroscopy has its value in the fields of pediatric orthopaedics.
