[Arthroscopic meniscus surgery]
Abstract:
Reported in this paper are 142 cases of arthroscopic meniscectomy treated in the Surgical Department of Berlin-Weissensee Hospital, between 1983 and 1985. An account is given of techniques applied to different types of rupture, and reference is made to both advantages and potential complications of arthroscopic surgery. The video technique is considered to be of great importance to endoscopic operations on the knee joint.
