Professor Kenji Takagi (1888–1963) [1] was a Japanese orthopedic surgeon, noted for being one of the first people to carry out a successful arthroscopy of the knee. [2] [3]
Takagi was attached to Tokyo University (where he succeeded Yoshinori Tashiro) in 1918 when he carried out the ground-breaking operation on a cadaver. He had been influenced by the work of Danish surgeon Severin Nordentoft. [4] In 1922, he went to Germany to study the use of x-ray technology there. [5] Following World War II, Takagi's pupil Masaki Watanabe, carried on his work. [6]
