Summary/Abstract: Introduction: Post traumatic joint conditions cause traumat and many specific conditions need to be addressed through an intervention. The most often are menisci, ligaments and cartilage that are being damaged and that cannot have a joint total open surgery. At present, there are various surgical methods - techniques (arthroscopic approaches) in which the patient is under full anesthesia or spinal anesthesia during the surgery. Objective: The objective of the study is to highlight the possibilities of using nanoarthroscopy for the knee joint, shoulder joint and ankle using virtual reality. Methodology: They used modified pain perception questionnaires and aVirtual Reality questionnaire for stress assessment. Results: The work describes the theoretical background and current state of application of the latest methods of nanoarthroscopy for the knee joint, shoulder joint and ankle. We supplemented it with positives using the technique of virtual reality, in which the patient is conscious. The possibilities of using virtual reality to relieve pain and stress during surgery are described. The work also addresses the issue of specific technologies that evaluate the patient’s condition during the procedure. Conclusion: The case studies of knee arthroscopy focus on the evaluation of nanoarthroscopy using various methods and also using virtual reality. The results of the use of this technology have confirmed the potential of innovative techniques.
