Arthroscopy devices are medical devices used to visualize, examine, and execute therapeutic interventions inside the joints of the body, such as elbow, shoulder, spine, hip, knee, and others. They are widely used to examine the bone joints for specific conditions, such as bone tumor, tendinitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Arthroscopy devices include arthroscopes, arthroscopy implants, arthroscopy shavers, arthroscopy radio frequency systems, arthroscopy fluid management system, and arthroscopy visualization systems. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure help reduce patient recovery time and prevent post-surgery complications.
Arthroscopy is often done as day surgery. The surgeon will make a tiny cut near the joint and insert the arthroscope. Then the light is transmitted through the tiny instruments and passes through the microscope lens attached to the arthroscopy device. The primary application of this procedure is the diagnosis of the internal structure of the body. Arthroscopy devices are widely used to treat joint problems and bone disorders. It is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures across the world. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and the growing geriatric population, the demand for arthroscopy is also increasing.
Musculoskeletal diseases become more common with the increasing age. According to a German federal government agency, the Robert Koch Institute, musculoskeletal diseases are the leading cause of the limited physical ability, chronic pain, and reduced quality of life, worldwide. In Germany, injuries, disorders, and illnesses of the musculoskeletal system are some of the most common medical problems and cause high economic costs. Moreover, the World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that the number of people affected by bone and joint illnesses will double in the coming years. Arthroscopy is a surgical technique in which arthroscopes can be used to visualize, diagnose, and treat conditions within a joint.
Arthroscopy devices are used to execute therapeutic interventions inside bone joints of elbow, shoulder, spine, hip, and knee for specific conditions, such as osteoarthritis, bone tumor, tendinitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
