Minimally invasive arthroscopy of the knee using a new 2 mm device [PDF]
Arthroscopy has been evolving over the last decades, whereas arthroscopic devices have not changed much. Smaller diameter arthroscopes would potentially reduce the intraoperative trauma for cartilage and soft tissues.

Comparison of needle and conventional arthroscopy for visualisation of predefined anatomical structures of the knee joint: a feasibility study in human cadavers and patients [PDF]
Background In terms of the optics used for Knee arthroscopy, a large number of different endoscopes are currently available. However, the use of the 30° optics in knee arthroscopy has been established as the standard procedure for many years. As early as

Supervised Scene Illumination Control in Stereo Arthroscopes for Robot Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery [PDF]
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers many advantages to patients but it also imposes limitations on surgeons ability, as no tactile or haptic feedback is available.

2-Mm Diameter Operative Tendoscopy of the Tibialis Posterior, Peroneal, and Achilles Tendons: A Cadaveric Study. [PDF]
Background: Technical innovation now offers the possibility of 2-mm-diameter operative tendoscopy with disposable arthroscopes and tablet-like control units. The promises of new technology should be critically scrutinized.

The Arthroscope in the Services [PDF]
The change in the role of the arthroscope in the investigation and treatment of the problems in the knee joint during the period 1977-1985 in one Service hospital was examined and a retrospective study was undertaken of 345 arthroscopies performed in Princess Alexandra RAF Hospital Wroughton in 1984.

Improvement of arthroscopic surgical performance using a new wide-angle arthroscope in the surgical training. [PDF]
BackgroundWe have developed a new arthroscope with a field of view of 150°. This arthroscope requires less motion to maneuver and exhibits reduced optical error. It also improves how novices learn arthroscopy.

Needle tenoscopy of the digital flexor tendon sheath in a standing equine cadaver model using a novel approach and guided palmar/plantar annular ligament desmotomy. [PDF]
Abstract Objective (1) To evaluate the feasibility of needle tenoscopy of the digital flexor tendon sheath (DFTS) using basisesamoid (BS) and proximolateral (PL) approaches in a standing equine cadaver model. (2) To report visualization of intrathecal DFTS anatomy via both approaches.
