Arthroscopy is a surgical technique that involves the introduction of a small circular lens (2.0 to 6.0 mm in diameter) into a joint for the purpose of inspection and possible treatment. The arthroscope is an elongated tube possessing a series of lenses that allow for the magnification of structures within the joint.
Traumatic injuries also include damage to or destruction of. personal appliances, such as eyeglasses or hearing aids, when a personal injury. requiring medical services occurred. An occupational disease or illness is a condition produced by the work environment.
The length of exposure, not the cause. of the injury or the medical condition which results, determines whether an injury is. traumatic or occupational. For instance, if you are exposed to toxic fumes for one day, the incident is considered a traumatic injury. If you are exposed to toxic fumes for two. or more days, the incident is considered an occupational disease.
