Abstract
Arthroscopy has an established position in modern medical diagnosis and treatment in sports medicine. The advantages of endoscopy are important for all those involved and are decisive for the success medical experts and patients enjoy today: For the doctor it means improved diagnosis and treatment; for the patient it means minimally invasive approaches, reduced trauma, the reduced risk of infection, quicker wound healing, and often, shorter stays in hospital; and as a result for the hospital and society, this translates into reduced costs.
This chapter gives an insight into the corresponding medical devices, the related instrumentation, and their maintenance for particular indications in these fields and is in part based on a recent technical publication (Leonhard M, Irion K (2011) Endoscopy. In: Kramme R et al (ed) Springer handbook on medical technology. Springer, Berlin, pp 379–403).
