Arthroscopic Knee Debridement Enquire FROM€ 2,000 Show Details

Recommended For

For many years, doctors often used arthroscopic debridement for knee osteoarthritis. It was believed that the presence of a loose body in knee (such as pieces of cartilage) causes inflammation of joints and osteoarthritis-related pain. However, as the years pass and new research results are published, doctors understood that using arthroscopic debridement of the knee for osteoarthritis is not always a good choice. It brings good results but it is likely to have a placebo effect – conducting a knee surgery makes patients believe that they will feel better.
Recently, knee arthroscopy with debridement is proposed only to selected patients after a thorough examination. Doctors need to get sure that this type of arthroscopic knee surgery will have a positive medical effect. For this reason, debridement surgery is for chosen patients who suffer from osteoarthritis and it is likely that arthroscopic debridement of the knee will bring good results.

To meniscus tear symptoms belong pain, popping and swelling. Inability to properly move the knee is also counted among meniscus tear symptoms. For doctors looking for torn meniscus, MRI remains the best choice among diagnostic methods.
Candidates for torn meniscus surgery are usually sportsmen who can’t allow themselves a long meniscus tear recovery time without surgery and who do not want to risk that not operated meniscus injury will lead to limiting their physical abilities. For this reason, they decide for meniscus surgery in the form of arthroscopic surgery.
