Abstract
Arthroscopy was first reported by Severin Nordentoft in Denmark in 1912. However, it was the Japanese surgeons Kenji Takagi and Masaki Watanabe who developed the arthroscopic equipment and techniques that transformed arthroscopy from an unreliable fragile device that provided a dim view of the joint to now be an advanced therapeutic procedure.
