Abstract
It is essential that an orthopedic surgeon acquires the skills to perform arthroscopy at an early stage of his/her training. It can be compared to playing golf or driving a car, as when these skills are acquired at an early age, they appear to come naturally. The subject of this chapter is not to give a general overview of the surgical options and situations encountered but instead to describe some tricks which can facilitate arthroscopy and provide some general concepts. The specific techniques and major indications are presented in detail in the corresponding chapters.
