Arthroscopy was firstly developed in Japan in late 1950's and spread rapidly to the world. In U.S., arthroscopic procedures were performed in 40% of yearly orthopaedic surgeries. However the knee joint is still main lesion for arthroscopic surgery, the arthroscopy is applied to many other joints such as shoulder joint, hip joint, elbow joint, wrist joint, ankle joint, finger joint and mandibular joint. Moreover arthroseopic procedure extends the indication for outside of the joints. These include percutaneous discectomy, spinal cord endoscopy, opening of the carpal tunnel and Achilles' tendon repair. Recently, two highly advancements were seen in arthroscopic instrumentation. One is the development of new arthroscope with the 300~800 times of magnifying power. This will help us to investigate the micro blood supply in synovium. And another is the use of holmium-YAG laser for the arthroscopic surgery. In the future arthroscopic surgery will extend its indication more and become one of most standard procedure in orthopaedic surgery.}, pages = {635--640}, title = {1) 整形外科領域における関節鏡視下手術の現況と展望(シンポジウム 内視鏡下外科手術の現況と展望のプログラム, 第497回新潟医学会)}, volume = {108}, year = {1994} }
