Arthroscopy offers a reliable, minimally invasive approach for knee joint disorders, combining diagnosis and therapy with low morbidity and high success rates for procedures like partial meniscectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Arthroscopy is a key diagnostic tool for knee joint disorders.
  • It enables simultaneous diagnosis and therapeutic intervention in many cases.
  • Most arthroscopic procedures avoid the need for hospitalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of arthroscopic procedures for knee joint disorders.
  • To compare the cost-effectiveness of arthroscopy versus traditional arthrotomy.
  • To assess the clinical value of various arthroscopic interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of arthroscopic procedures for knee joint disorders.
  • Analysis of patient outcomes, including morbidity and success rates.
  • Cost-benefit analysis comparing arthroscopy with arthrotomy.

Main Results:

  • Excellent or good results were achieved in 91% of arthroscopic partial meniscectomies.
  • Arthroscopic operations reduced costs by sFr 6000 to 7000 compared to arthrotomy.
  • Low complication frequency (0.56%) and infection rates (less than 1%) were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Arthroscopy is a highly effective and cost-efficient diagnostic and therapeutic tool for knee disorders.
  • While the benefits of many arthroscopic procedures are proven, the clinical value of others requires further investigation.
  • Arthroscopy demonstrates a favorable safety profile with low complication rates.
