arthroscope
Knee surgery viewer
An arthroscope is a small fiber-optic camera inserted into a joint through a tiny incision, allowing surgeons to see inside without major surgery.
The instrument enables both diagnosis and minimally invasive repair of knees, shoulders, and other joints: The surgeon examined the torn cartilage through an arthroscope.
