Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee by arthroscopic procedure according to presence or absence of mechanical symptoms. Materials and Methods: We studied sixty patients (60 knees) who underwent arthroscopic procedure for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee from October,2000 to January,2002. The average follow up period was 15 months(12-30 months). We evaluated the mechanical symptoms by simple radiographs, history taking and physical examination. We analysed the clinical results by Baumgaertner's scale. Results: The Baumgaetner's score improved from 3.1 preoperatively to 8.1 postoperatively in the group with mechanical symptoms, whereas the scores in the group without mechanical symptom improved from 3.5 preoperatively to 5.4 postoperatively. The patients with mechanical symptoms were satisfied more than the patients without mechanical symptoms. Conclusion: The arthroscopic surgery could be one of good alternative treatment methods for the osteoarthritis of the knee with mechanical symptoms . But, more than these patients will be needed for further evaluation.
