n arthroscopy, minimizing
trauma to bone and soft
tissue while ensuring a
strong and resilient repair
is key. It's a tall order, but
improvements in arthroscopic
equipment essentials — and new
innovations like stem cell therapy
— are expanding the possibilities of
minimally invasive joint repair. Here
are 4 game-changing innovations
that promise to change the arthro-
scopic landscape.
1. Better imaging systems
After years of being the hot trend in
the consumer market, 4K has finally
hit the surgical world. Arthrex's
new 4K video system is the first and
only platform on the market to use
the ultra-HD technology, which
promises lifelike images. 4K offers 4
times the resolution and 4 times the

Arthroscopy
Game-Changers
From 4K to biologics, these
advances are improving case
efficiencies and surgical outcomes.
