Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Is any Role for Arthroscopy in the Treatment? Current Review

Abstract

There are few well controlled studies with long-term follow-up that establish selection criteria concerning arthroscopy in the osteoarthritic patients in the current literature. Nevertheless, the use of arthroscopy for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee has increased over the last decade. In the mean time, it is important to analyze the current literature in an effort to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from arthroscopy.
