Abstract

Laser-assisted procedures have been applied in arthroscopic surgery with varying degrees of success since the end of the 1970s. The introduction of pulsed holmium and erbium:YAG lasers in the near-infrared range seems to signify a more promising alternative in arthroscopic applications than the CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers that were propagated initially. Since a flexible transmission system for ...
