the term "arthroscopic surgery" is loosely used to mean that the doctor looked into a joint via arthroscopy and then cleaned up any scar tissue/chipped cartilage (debridement) but "arthroscopic" is not its own type of surgery or procedure.
really besides the point though and im dont care either way.
