Abstract
An electrosurgical meniscal cutting device including an elongated probe adapted for insertion into an incision and first and second electrode supports carried by the probe. The electrode supports are movable relative to each other to vary the spacing between them. A variable length electrode extends between the electrode supports so that the length of the electrode can be varied by varying the spacing between the electrode supports. The spacing between the electrode support is controlled to control the length of the electrode.
