    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Knee Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Meniscectomy, or meniscus removal, is a known risk factor for developing degenerative osteoarthritis.
    • Long-term morbidity associated with knee injuries necessitates minimizing invasive procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of preserving menisci to prevent future osteoarthritis.
    • To emphasize the diagnostic utility of arthrography and arthroscopy in knee conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on meniscectomy outcomes.
    • Analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of arthrography and arthroscopy for knee pathology.
    • Evaluation of the role of these imaging techniques in reducing arthrotomy incidence.

    Main Results:

    • Meniscectomy significantly increases the risk of degenerative osteoarthritis.
    • Arthrography and arthroscopy are effective in diagnosing knee problems.
    • The use of arthrography and arthroscopy reduces the need for exploratory arthrotomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Preserving menisci is essential for long-term knee health and osteoarthritis prevention.
    • Arthrography and arthroscopy are complementary diagnostic tools for knee issues.
    • Both imaging modalities are frequently indicated in the diagnostic workup of knee problems.
