The application of arthroscopic surgery in children is becoming wider and a more complete understanding of its use is needed. In this article we present our experience with arthroscopic surgery over the course of 17 months, from April 2019 until October 2020. We diagnosed and treated minimally invasive 49 patients, with ages between 6 and 18 years old, 22 boys (44.9%) and 27 girls (55.1%). The pathologies varied, the most common being anterior cruciate ligament tears with 49 cases representing 49%, some of which also needed meniscal repair with sutures or by partial meniscectomies. Second most common condition was isolated meniscal tears in 8 patients representing 16.33% of all cases. But the application of arthroscopic approach is not limited to the treatment of knee instability or related sports injuries. We also want to emphasize the importance of a minimal invasive treatment when it comes to lose bodies in the elbow by presenting a case of an incarcerated medial humeral epicondyle after an elbow dislocation, a case of a symptomatic os trigonum in a 14 years old swimmer or a fractured anterior calcaneal process unresponsive to the conservative treatment, tibial spine fracture in a six years old child. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery are widely accepted among the orthopaedic surgeons, but it is yet under a lot of reluctance in the paediatric professionals because of the sometimes slow and difficult learning curve.
