Arthroscopic procedures are minimally invasive surgical techniques used to diagnose and treat joint-related problems. They involve the insertion of a small, fiber-optic camera (called an arthroscope) through a small incision into the joint, which allows the surgeon to visualize and assess the joint's condition. During the procedure, the surgeon may also insert other small instruments through additional incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue or bone. Arthroscopic procedures are commonly used for knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow, and wrist joints. Injuries of the musculoskeletal system are injuries that affect the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues that support the body and allow movement. These injuries can range from minor strains and sprains to more severe fractures and dislocations. Some of the most common musculoskeletal injuries include: Sprains and strains: stretching or tearing of muscles, tendons, or ligaments due to overuse, sudden movements, or accidents Fractures: Breaks or cracks in bones caused by trauma, falls, or stress on the bone Dislocations: Separation of the bones in a joint due to trauma or overuse Tendinitis: inflammation of a tendon due to overuse, repetitive movements, or injury. Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the joints due to repetitive movements or injury.
