Arthroscopy - Dr. Barbro Nordquist

Small animal arthroscopy has become a common diagnostic and treatment option available for the small animal
veterinarian since the mid 1980's. Advantage of arthroscopy when compared to open arthrotomy has to do with its
minimally invasive application. A thorough inspection can be made of the joint and the magnification provided by
the camera allows for accurate diagnosis of cartilaginous and other intra-articular pathology. In addition,
instruments, including probes, shavers and burrs, allow for treatment as warranted. In this presentation, Dr. Nordquist discusses and shows examples of veterinary arthroscopy at various joints.
