Clinical and Diagnostic Algorithm for Arthroscopic Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee

摘要

Purpose of current investigation was to improve the arthroscopy technique of patients with osteoarthritis of knee, by the introduction of complex clinic and diagnostic algorithm. Materials and methods. The investigation was carried out on the basis of 218 patients’ data of the clinic of Sport traumatology department of Republican Scientific and practical medical Centre of Traumatology and Orthopedics during 2014-2019 yy. with osteoarthritis of knee by different degrees (0-IV st.) according to Kellgren and Lawrence classification. All patients were carried out 5 types of arthroscopic operations depending on the stage o morphologic alteration, based on the development of clinic and diagnostic algorithm. The results were studied at nearest (3-6 months) and long term (6 months - year) periods. At postoperative period the medications, early rehabilitations and physiotherapy were recommended to patients. In our data, in 96,5% had positive results. Conclusion. Arthroscopy with using of clinic and diagnostic algorithm is allowed to rise of share good results, to activate patients and to begin the early rehabilitations at postoperative periods.
