The Hospital for Joint Disease was constructed in 1924, ushering in a new generation of orthopedic leaders in research and clinical care. One such surgeon, Michael S. Burman, helped pioneer the early advancement and development of arthroscopy in North America. Arthroscopic surgery, now a vital component of orthopedic surgery, has many connections to the Hospital for Joint Diseases (now the NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital). This manuscript will review the history of arthroscopy from its roots in endoscopy, through its development in Europe, and early growth in Japan and North America. The first published reports of endoscopy from Europe inspired Dr. Burman to travel to Germany to learn more. After, he brought his newly acquired knowledge back to the Hospital for Joint Diseases, where he carried out some of the seminal experiments on arthroscopy. Dr. Masaki Watanabe, now known as the father of arthroscopy, ultimately transitioned the early experiments into a viable surgical technique. The first generation of surgeons from Canada and the US visited Dr. Watanabe in Japan, brought these techniques back to North America in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and helped to teach and revolutionize this new type of surgery. Arthroscopy has further evolved over the next 50 years, but to continually improve we must look back and acknowledge those who helped create what we have today.
关节病医院建于1924年，迎来了新一代在研究和临床护理方面的骨科领军人物。其中一位外科医生迈克尔·S·伯曼，助力开创了北美关节镜检查的早期进步与发展。关节镜手术如今是骨科手术的重要组成部分，与关节病医院（现为纽约大学朗格尼骨科医院）有着诸多联系。本手稿将回顾关节镜检查的历史，从其在内窥镜检查中的起源，到在欧洲的发展，以及在日本和北美的早期成长。欧洲首次发表的关于内窥镜检查的报告激励伯曼博士前往德国进一步学习。之后，他将新学到的知识带回关节病医院，在那里他开展了一些关于关节镜检查的开创性实验。渡边正树博士，如今被誉为关节镜检查之父最终将早期实验转化为一种可行的手术技术。第一代来自加拿大和美国的外科医生前往日本拜访渡边博士，在20世纪60年代末和70年代初将这些技术带回北美，并帮助传授和革新了这种新型手术。在接下来的50年里，关节镜检查进一步发展，但为了持续改进，我们必须回首并认可那些帮助创造了我们今天所拥有的一切的人。
