Abstract

When talking about innovations and progress in the field of arthroscopy, we have to focus on indications and technological improvement. The basic principle of looking in the joint did not change over the year, but technical innovations makes it possible to visualize more and to perform more specific procedures. The synergy with the industry makes that equipment can be invented to perform many surgical procedures which were impossible to do before. Off course being able to get a tool does not automatically mean that it is wise to use it, and we should always remain critical.
