Current development of instrumentation for arthroscopy.
The advances in the field of arthroscopy have been keyed to the development of instrumentation. The most significant innovation has occurred in conjunction with the visualization system itself--cutting instrumentation for resection of soft tissues in bone and, more recently, in joints other than the knee. A brief history of the development of arthroscopic instrumentation is provided in this article.
