Arthroscope

Arthroscope (from the Greek arthro- - joint and skopeo - look, observe) is a device designed for visual inspection of the internal cavities of the joints.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive method for diagnosing and treating joint diseases using an arthroscope. It is used for damage to articular cartilage and ligaments, inflammatory processes, and to remove foreign bodies.

The arthroscope consists of an optical system, an illuminator, a channel for washing fluid and an instrument channel. After making a skin incision, a needle is inserted through which saline solution is injected into the joint. Then, through this access, an arthroscope is inserted into the joint and an image of the internal structures of the joint is displayed on the monitor. According to indications, medical operations are performed using special arthroscopic instruments.

Arthroscopy allows you to accurately diagnose pathology and carry out the necessary intervention with minimal tissue trauma. This ensures quick recovery for patients.

An arthroscope is an optical device for examining and diagnosing joints and bones. It consists of a small video camera and a lamp at the end of a thin tube (which can be inserted into the human body). The tube contains many fibers that allow the camera to see the smallest details of the organ being examined, such as ligaments, muscles, cartilage, bones, etc.

Arthroscopy allows doctors to diagnose joint diseases, identify tumors and determine their size. It also helps determine the degree of damage to the joint and choose the optimal treatment method.

The advantages of arthroscopy over other examination methods include diagnostic accuracy, the ability to visualize the internal structure of the organ and less trauma.
