Abstract

Background The field of arthroscopy has exponentially grown in the past decade, especially in the realm of upper extremity surgery.

Description The use of smaller cameras and further advancements in arthroscopy technology have allowed innovative expansion in the application of arthroscopy in small joints.

Clinical Relevance Included in the advancements is the NanoScope, a 1.9-mm flexible scope specifically designed for small joint visualization.

Keywords

NanoScope arthroscopy - upper extremity arthroscopy
