Abstract
Muscular medical technology, like all fields of medicine, advanced tremendously in the twentieth century. Joint replacement surgery and arthroscopic surgery, as well as a better comprehension of fundamental atomic, cell, genetic, and biomechanical aspects of the musculoskeletal framework, were the two most significant achievements in muscular surgery in the last 100 years. These breakthroughs, made possible by surges in innovation, will continue to improve treatment results and expand the signs for use as innovation evolves.

Introduction
The history of arthroscopy may be traced back to the seventeenth century, when the first modern cystoscopy was created and shown that it could be used to perform tasks. To view the pleural and peritoneal pits, the cystoscope was invented in 1910. After 8 years, Takagi of Tokyo University was the first to insert a cystoscope into a deceased body’s knee joint, becoming the first to apply endoscopic standards to a knee joint. Until World War II interrupted his research, teacher Takagi continued to popularize the arthroscope in Japan. In 1921, Bircher utilized an adapted Jacobaeus laparoscope to scan the inside of 18 patient’s knees in Switzerland, and he later published his findings on posttraumatic joint inflammation and meniscal disease diagnosis. Takagi’s student Watanabe continued Takagi’s efforts on perfecting the arthroscope after WW II. He created practical ways for employing arthroscopic vision with the release of the Atlas of Arthroscopy in 1957.In 1964, Dr. Robert Jackson received a fellowship to investigate tissue culture technologies in Tokyo. Jackson became confident that arthroscopy may make a significant contribution to the detection and treatment of joint diseases after meeting and observing Watanabe. Jackson began practicing arthroscopy in North America after returning to Toronto General Hospital in 1965 with a Watanabe arthroscopy, eventually releasing the first English textbook on the subject in 1976. The previous year, the University of Pennsylvania hosted the most important educational session on arthroscopy. The major technological breakthrough that paved the way for today’s widespread use of arthroscopy was the introduction of fiber optics and small TV cameras in 1972, and subsequent technological advancement (of instruments, fiber optics, hardware, lasers, and so on) has broadened the scope of procedures and signs available. Arthroscopy, a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgical techniques and now the most commonly performed orthopaedic surgical procedure, was one of the twentieth century's most significant advances in orthopaedic surgery. Minimally invasive surgeries cause less postoperative swelling than open techniques, as well as less pain, complications, and recovery times. Arthroscopy has progressed from a diagnostic tool to a treatment tool for a wide variety of injuries and disorders. Many injuries, particularly those that would have ended an athlete's career previously, can now be treated with arthroscopy, allowing for a faster return to full function [1-2]
Advantages
Entry ports and arthrotomies for joint pathologies openness and therapy. Compared to traditional open arthrotomies, arthroscopy provides a few advantages. In contrast to minimally invasive arthroscopic methods, prolonged joint opening slows recovery and increases pain, as well as the risk of consequences including disease and arthrofibrosis. Minimally invasive medical approaches, on average, cause less discomfort and swelling than open methods. As a result, patients who have undergone arthroscopic surgery will recover faster and begin rehabilitation sooner, allowing them to resume normal activities and jobs sooner.
Wounds, particularly those in competitors that would have ended a career earlier, can now be treated using arthroscopy, allowing people to return to full ability as treatment strategies and signs have improved. The models contain the front cruciate knee tendon lesions of runners and the intra-articular shoulder pathologies of throwers. While extended open techniques can address these difficulties, the comorbidity that comes with open operations often prevents patients from returning to their pre-physical issue useful condition. For talented competitors, these kind of wounds frequently resulted in the end of a competitor’s lucrative career [3].
Another financial advantage of arthroscopy is that nearly all arthroscopic treatments may be done as an outpatient procedure. Some arthroscopists even have offices where they may put their strategies into action, further cutting costs. Arthroscopy can be performed with a variety of sedatives, ranging from local to general anesthesia. The technique’s concept, as well as the patient’s and doctor’s preferences, is used to make sedation decisions.
Applications in clinical practice
The knee was the model joint for the development of arthroscopy, and the evolution of the arthroscope from diagnostic tool to therapeutic tool is common to its application to other joints. Initially, the arthroscope was used to clearly identify specific intra-articular pathology, thereby assisting with treatment management. If pathology, such as meniscal tears, necessitated surgery, open arthrotomies were required. As equipment and techniques improved, arthroscopy became a surgical tool in its own right, reducing the comorbidity of joint surgery.Knee arthroscopy indications are numerous and growing. Arthroscopy has been shown to be an effective, time-saving, and therapeutic procedure for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Kneearthroscopy for osteoarthritis provides an alternative pain relief option for patients who are unable or unwilling to undergo major surgical procedures such as knee replacement surgery. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other hypertrophic synovial-producing syndromes, arthroscopic synovectomy of the knees has significantly reduced complications and improved outcomes compared to open synovectomies of the knee. Knee osteochondral injuries and osteochondritis dessicans lesions can be repaired and drilled to stimulate fibrocartilaginous healing, and dissociated loose bodies can be easily removed via arthroscopy.
Knee arthroscopy can also be used to assess the intra-articular reduction of tibial plateau fractures and intra-articular distal femur fractures. Knee arthroscopy allows for the effective drainage of septic knee effusions as well as traumatic hemarthroses while also providing an excellent diagnostic examination of the knee's intra-articular structures. More recently, exciting advances such as osteochondral and meniscal transplants have continued, and these techniques will continue to use arthroscopy as a primary portal of entry as they develop.
Ochsner arthroscopy
Ochsner performed 211 arthroscopic procedures in 1999. The most common joint treated was the knee, and the most common diagnoses addressed by arthroscopy were meniscal tears and degenerative joint disease. The vast majority of arthroscopies were performed by joint reconstruction specialists who care for an older population of arthritis patients. The addition of an orthopaedic sports medicine specialist to the Ochsner orthopaedic staff in the summer of 2000 is expected to increase the number of arthroscopic procedures performed for more activity-related injuries [4].
