    Arthroscopic meniscus excision offers improved outcomes compared to traditional arthrotomy. This minimally invasive technique reduces hospital stays, speeds recovery, and shortens sick leave without compromising knee function.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Arthroscopy

    Background:

    • Meniscal tears are common knee injuries.
    • Traditional arthrotomy for meniscus repair involves significant recovery time.
    • Advancements in arthroscopic techniques offer potential for less invasive treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic meniscus excision.
    • To compare arthroscopic excision with traditional arthrotomy for knee joint meniscus lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • A standardized arthroscopic excision technique was developed and applied to 18 patients.
    • The procedure was performed using a central arthroscope insertion.
    • Outcomes were compared to a matched control group treated with arthrotomy.

    Main Results:

    • Knee function was comparable between arthroscopic excision and arthrotomy groups.
    • Arthroscopic excision resulted in shorter hospital stays.
    • Patients undergoing arthroscopic excision experienced faster convalescence and reduced sick leave.

    Conclusions:

    • Arthroscopic meniscus excision is an effective treatment for knee joint meniscus lesions.
    • This technique offers significant advantages in terms of recovery time and hospital stay compared to arthrotomy.
    • Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery improves patient outcomes for meniscal tears.
