Features: This book is based on clinical practice, drawing on the authors' clinical experience, insights, and research findings, while incorporating relevant developments both domestically and internationally. It provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques for the knee. The book is divided into two major parts and twelve chapters. The first part is the General Introduction, covering the surgical fundamentals of knee arthroscopy. The second part focuses on arthroscopic surgical techniques for the knee, particularly emphasizing the repair and reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, as well as related issues. The book includes numerous color photographs of arthroscopic examinations and surgical procedures for various knee injuries, making it easier for readers to understand the pathological features of these conditions under arthroscopy and to master arthroscopic surgical techniques. Sports trauma is an important component of sports medicine, and its development is closely related to that of related disciplines. The application of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery in sports trauma has significantly advanced the field, providing important support for the development of sports in China and the improvement of public health. At the same time, with the increasing demands of competitive sports, the widespread participation in mass sports, and the rise in traffic-related injuries, the incidence of joint injuries has significantly increased. Most of these injuries can be treated through minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, creating a strong societal demand. Conversely, this has greatly promoted the continuous research, development, and improvement of arthroscopic equipment and techniques, accelerating the progress of sports medicine and orthopedics. Additionally, with the introduction of the concept of minimally invasive surgery in modern medicine, arthroscopy, as one of the earliest minimally invasive surgical techniques, has developed rapidly and achieved remarkable accomplishments in the field of surgery. Currently, arthroscopic surgery has fundamentally changed traditional practices, enabling many joint surgeries to be performed under minimally invasive conditions without opening the joint. This has led to accurate diagnosis, high-precision surgery, minimal damage, rapid recovery, and excellent outcomes. Therefore, the development and application of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery can be considered a turning point and milestone in the history of orthopedics and sports trauma. Arthroscopic knee surgery is a key component of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery. Due to the knee's critical function, its complex internal anatomy, and its high susceptibility to joint diseases and injuries, as well as the wide range of conditions that can be examined and treated arthroscopically, with outcomes significantly open surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery fully demonstrates the advantages of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery. It serves as an important foundation for learning and advancing arthroscopic minimally invasive surgical techniques. Currently, the concept of minimally invasive surgery in modern medicine is gaining widespread acceptance, and with the continuous development and application of minimally invasive surgical techniques, it is crucial for orthopedic and sports trauma surgeons to correctly understand arthroscopy, learn new techniques, develop new methods, receive rigorous basic training, and strengthen specialized training. Based on clinical practice, the authors of this book, drawing on their clinical experience, insights, and research findings, along with relevant developments both domestically and internationally, provide a comprehensive and systematic introduction to the fundamentals of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery for the knee, including arthroscopic procedures, particularly the repair and reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and related issues. The book includes numerous color photographs of arthroscopic examinations and surgical procedures for various knee injuries, making it easier for readers to understand the pathological features of these conditions under arthroscopy and to master arthroscopic surgical techniques. The primary audience for this book is sports trauma and joint surgeons who are learning or practicing arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery. It can also serve as a reference for general orthopedic physicians and medical students, allowing them to see the future direction and prospects of arthroscopic minimally invasive surgery while learning techniques, thereby broadening their perspectives and promoting the development of the field.
