슬관절의 골성관절염에서 Arthroscopic Debridement = Arthroscopic Debridement in Osteoarthritis of the Knee

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many patients with osteoarthritis can be managed by conservative treatment while others require tota1 knee replacement or proximal tibial osteotomy. These surgical pro- cedures carry a reaeon@lly high rate of success in the managemeat of osteoarthritis of the knee, but open surgery carries with its significant risks. More recently, arthroscopic surgery has been used in the treatment of osteoarthritis of knee with the procedure of substantial pain reduction. Although it provides improvement, debridement alone has not been shown to stimulate healing of articular cartilage deffect. Therefore, a means of effecting cartilage repair, like drilling or abrasion arthroplasty, was used. This review is conducted to determine the results of arthroscopic debridement for osteoarthritis and to attempt to defme its role in the management of the osteoarthritis of the knee. Arthioscopic debridement is palliative and not curative, but it could be an appealing alternative fo or postoned, total knee arthroplasty or high tibial osteotomy.
