After the World War II scientific and technological progress was so fast that arthroscopy proved to be a valuable tool in orthopedics, not only as a diagnostic, but also as a therapeutic procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
