Incidence and predictors of total knee arthroplasty following knee arthroscopy.
Journal of Orthopaedics 2018 March
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of knee arthroscopy (KA) in patients with symptomatic meniscal tears or mechanical symptoms and OA, by using conversion to TKA as a final outcome measure.
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients with OA who underwent KA in our practice.
Results: 1215 KAs were reviewed; 3.9% underwent conversion to TKA at an average of 3.2 years.
Conclusion: KA plays a role in delaying TKA in knees with meniscal tears and mechanical symptoms with concurrent OA.
