One of the most significant advancements in modern orthopedic medicine is arthroscopy. An orthopedic surgeon trained in arthroscopy can simultaneously evaluate, diagnose, and repair soft tissue injuries. Some of the most common injuries treated with arthroscopy include ligament and tendon tears in the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle.
