Abstract

Tendoscopy was introduced by Wertheimer since 1995 [1]. It was subsequently popularized by van Dijk by extending multiple applications in the foot and ankle [2–4]. The limits of tendoscopy have been challenged by numerous surgeons around the world, especially Dr. Lui who reported versatile use of tendoscopy of both lower and upper extremities [5–8].
