Guy Schlager (pioneer in arthroscopy)

Guy Schlager was a pioneering orthopedic surgeon who advanced the field of arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. His work helped develop specialized instruments and procedures for viewing and repairing joints, especially the knee and shoulder, through small incisions with a camera. This innovation significantly reduced recovery times and improved patient outcomes. Schlager's contributions laid the foundation for modern arthroscopic surgery, making joint treatment less invasive, more precise, and more effective for countless patients worldwide.
