Abstract
Arthroscopy performs as well as direct non-arthroscopic assessments of AC for diagnosis of early OA. These results suggest that arthroscopy can be used as a “gold standard” for the validation of non-invasive assessments like magnetic resonance imaging and that arthroscopic diagnosis can be based on small amounts of video footage without AC probing.
