Small Animal Arthroscopy

High Quality Instruments - Van Ryssen Series


High-quality instruments are crucial in veterinary arthroscopy for their precision, durability, and reliability during delicate joint procedures. These instruments enable accurate manipulation of tissues, reducing trauma and complications while contributing to better patient outcomes and shorter recovery times.

Developed in collaboration with the esteemed veterinary expert Prof. Dr. Bernadette van Ryssen, we proudly present the Van-Ryssen Small Animal Arthroscopy Line:
Statement of Prof. Dr. Bernadette van Ryssen:

In the last few decades, arthroscopy in small animals has known a rapid expansion because of some important advantages. This minimally invasive technique allows a wide and detailed inspection of the intra-articular structures and their pathologic changes because of the enlargement by the arthroscope and camera. Fibrillation and superficial erosions of cartilage, fibers of (partially) ruptured ligaments, and the structure of synovial villi are details that can be evaluated during arthroscopy. These possibilities allow an accurate diagnosis and a better understanding of the intra-articular anatomy and pathology. Arthroscopy can be used to demonstrate discrete or early lesions without radiographic evidence. It allows a second look in joints that have been treated unsuccessfully via arthrotomy or arthroscopy. Several lesions can be treated via arthroscopy. In case of bilateral lesions, treatment of both joints can be performed during one anesthesia. Because of the limited surgical trauma, the postoperative care and risk for complications are minimal. A prerequisite for successful arthroscopic interventions is good quality equipment to clearly visualize the intra-articular structures. It is also important to work with the correct instruments: they should be small yet strong and have an adapted shape. Finally training and exercise is needed before sufficient experience is reached to apply arthroscopy in the small sized joints and to adapt a different way of surgical handling.
