Arthroscopy offers a direct view of knee cartilage and synovium, aiding research into osteoarthritis and synovitis. Standardized scoring systems are crucial for accurately measuring disease progression and treatment effectiveness.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Rheumatology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Arthroscopy is the gold standard for assessing articular cartilage and synovium.
Knee arthroscopy is utilized for diagnosing and treating knee disorders.
A proposed function is monitoring knee chondropathy and synovitis in research settings.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the natural history of knee osteoarthritis and chronic synovitis.
To assess the impact of treatments on chondral or synovial lesions.
To validate non-invasive imaging techniques against arthroscopic findings.

Main Methods:

Arthroscopy performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
Development and validation of scoring systems for chondral and synovial lesions.
