Etymology
The term 'arthroscope' is derived from two parts; 'arthro-', which comes from the Greek word 'arthron' meaning 'joint', and 'scope', which comes from the Latin 'scopium' meaning 'to look' or 'to inspect'. The use of arthroscopes started in the 20th century, with significant advancements occurring in the 1960s, when surgeons began using them for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in joint surgeries. The technology has evolved over the years, improving image quality and the ability to perform complex procedures with less invasiveness, leading to faster recovery times for patients.
