Arthroscopy education.
The recent advances in technology, widespread use of arthroscopy in essentially any joint, combined with public awareness, has increased the demand on orthopedists to become proficient in arthroscopy. The orthopedic literature is essentially void of information regarding arthroscopic education for either residents or clinicians. This article presents a description of an arthroscopy lab for instruction in noninvasive surgical techniques. This laboratory set-up is adaptable to any institution at modest cost and within minimal space constraints.
