Arthroscope
Definition
A high-precision rigid or flexible endoscopic medical device, equipped with a miniature optical lens system, a fiber-optic light source, and a high-performance video camera, designed to be inserted into a joint cavity through a microscopic incision. This surgical instrument allows orthopedic surgeons to directly examine, diagnose, and perform minimally invasive treatment on joint pathologies (such as meniscus or ligament tears), significantly reducing the patient's postoperative recovery time.
