Arthroscopic surgery, also known as 'closed surgery' among the people, is a minimal surgical method used for diagnosis and treatment in orthopedic disorders involving all joints of the body. The most commonly used joint is the knee joint. Today, with the arthroscopy method, which can be applied even to the small finger joints, numerous treatment procedures are successfully performed through two small holes.
