Abstract
Clearly, nobody is likely to undertake arthroscopy if he is not thoroughly familiar with the anatomy of the knee joint. However, the anatomy of the knee joint as seen through the arthroscope is in no way comparable with that seen by the anatomist. It is extremely difficult to find one’ way about the knee joint with the thin instrument. The conventional concepts presented in anatomy textbooks cannot be directly utilized during arthroscopy.
