Changes in rates of arthroscopy due to degenerative knee disease and traumatic meniscal tears in Finland and Sweden
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Knee arthroscopy is commonly performed to treat degenerative knee disease symptoms and traumatic meniscal tears. We evaluated whether the recent high-quality randomized control trials not favoring arthroscopic surgery for degenerative knee disease affected the procedure incidence and trends in Finland and Sweden. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a bi-national registry-...
متن کاملComplex knee reconstruction: osteotomies, ligament reconstruction, transplants, and cartilage treatment options.
For every patient with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knee combined with degenerative changes, it is important to identify surgical strategies that both optimize ACL reconstruction success and slow degenerative joint disease (DJD) progression. When these surgical strategies are incorporated with a complementary rehabilitation regimen, this patient group has the best possibility f...
متن کاملDoes arthroscopic knee surgery work?
A recent randomized trial from the Finnish Degenerative Meniscal Lesion Study Group was published in the New England Journal of Medicine and attempted to determine the efficacy of partial meniscectomy without osteoarthritis. Patients were randomized to either arthroscopic partial meniscectomy or sham surgery. The authors concluded that the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscecto...
متن کاملWhat, if any, are the indications for arthroscopic debridement of the osteoarthritic knee?
Arthroscopic debridement is a reliable and effective treatment for knee arthritis in appropriately selected patients. Debridement may include lavage, loose body removal, partial meniscectomy, and/or chondroplasty. Patient selection criteria include acute effusion, well localized joint line tenderness, or catching or locking, often associated with a specific mechanism of injury, patients with im...
متن کاملSigns of knee osteoarthritis common in 620 patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for meniscal tear
Background and purpose - Recent evidence has questioned the effect of arthroscopic knee surgery for middle-aged and older patients with degenerative meniscal tears with or without concomitant radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the prevalence of early or more established knee OA and patients' characteristics in a cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a menisc...
