In this BoardsCast episode, we dive into the essentials of arthroscopy — the minimally invasive approach that allows direct evaluation and treatment of the joint without opening it wide. Built around Chapter 71 of Tobias & Johnston’s Veterinary Surgery (2nd ed), this episode connects key anatomic, procedural, and board-relevant principles.

You’ll learn:

• When to scope instead of open — and what joint structures benefit
• Portal placement and distention techniques across the stifle, elbow, and shoulder
• Scope navigation, tool use, and safe triangulation
• How to use arthroscopy for both diagnosis and debridement
• Complications and how to minimize them
• High-yield testable content from the arthroscopy chapter of the Tobias textbook

Whether you’re polishing up for practical cases or oral boards, this episode gives you the orientation and technique detail to stay sharp inside the joint.
