Abstract

Objective To investigate the meniscus characteristics of knee osteoarthritis and its guiding significance for minimally invasive surgery. Methods A total of 100 patients with knee meniscus sports injuries who were treated in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the research subjects and were grouped according to the interval between injury and surgery, with an interval of 2 months: the early group (53 cases) within 2 months and the delayed group (47 cases) with an interval of more than 2 months. The distribution of intraoperative complications in the two groups was observed and recorded, and the changes in pain degree, joint range of motion, knee joint function, and quality of life scores before and after operation were compared between the two groups. Results The postoperative VAS score, range of motion, Lysholm score, IKDC knee subjective function score, and quality of life score were significantly improved in both groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of intra-articular cartilage injury in the delayed group was significantly higher than that in the early group (P < 0.05). The patellofemoral cartilage injury was the main part of intra-articular cartilage injury in the two groups, and the incidence of patellofemoral cartilage injury in the delayed group was significantly higher than that in the early group (P < 0.05). The cartilage damage was mainly cartilage damage, and the grades I-II and III-IV cartilage damages were significantly increased in the extension group. Conclusion Meniscal injury in knee osteoarthritis has certain microscopic characteristics. In this paper, the microscopic classification of meniscus injury in knee osteoarthritis is helpful to guide microscopic surgery and improve the minimally invasive knee osteoarthritis effect of surgical treatment.
