Arthroscopic knee arthrodesis offers a minimally invasive option for severe trauma patients, leading to significant pain relief and improved function. This technique demonstrates benefits like reduced hospital stays and fewer complications compared to traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Joint Fusion Techniques

Background:

  • Classical knee arthrodesis is a surgical option for specific indications.
  • Arthroscopic arthrodesis presents an alternative surgical approach.
  • This study details the technical aspects and outcomes of arthroscopic knee arthrodesis.

Observation:

  • Four patients with severe knee trauma and persistent pain underwent arthroscopic arthrodesis.
  • Pre-operative International Knee Society (IKS) scores indicated significant functional impairment.
  • The arthroscopic procedure involved joint exploration, meniscectomy, and surface preparation followed by external fixation.

Findings:

  • The arthroscopic approach resulted in minimal bleeding and no cutaneous complications.

  • Patients experienced considerable functional gain, with improved IKS scores and pain reduction.
  • All patients achieved pain-free ambulation without crutches and demonstrated stable single-leg stance.

    • Implications:

    • Arthroscopic knee arthrodesis offers advantages such as shorter hospital stays and fewer complications.
    • This technique is suitable for knees with minimal deformity and bone loss.
    • Further research may clarify fusion times compared to traditional arthrodesis.
