Arthroscopy has developed dramatically over the last 10 years. Surgeons now have the ability to perform many procedures arthroscopically in almost any joint that previously required arthrotomy. This has resulted in notable benefits in decreased morbidity, earlier return to full activity, and decreased cost. Considerable experimental work is being done to apply arthroscopic procedures to joints other than the knee and shoulder in order to develop new procedures to successfully treat disorders in these areas.
在过去十年中，关节镜技术取得了巨大发展。如今，外科医生能够通过关节镜在几乎任何关节中进行许多以前需要切开手术的操作。这带来了显著的益处，包括发病率降低、更快恢复完全活动能力以及成本降低。目前正在进行大量的实验工作，将关节镜手术应用于膝关节和肩关节以外的其他关节，以便开发新的手术方法来成功治疗这些部位的疾病。
