Arthroscopy

Captions available

The idea

Arthroscopy uses a scope placed into a joint to diagnose and treat joint, ligament and tendon problems.

In practice

Saline is circulated through the joint to create a working space, so large volumes of fluid are used.

Where people slip

Heavy fluid use means wet floors and impervious shoe covers, so slips and spills are managed throughout.
