10 Everett BM, Pradhan AD, Solomon DH, et al Rationale and design of the Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial: a test of the inflammatory hypothesis of atherothrombosis
Since its introduction nearly 100 years ago,[1] arthroscopy of the knee has revolutionised the care of patients with meniscal lesions, ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament, and cartilage damage
Knee arthroscopy has proved to be an asset that is highly beneficial to many patients, it is not a panacea for all knee problems
Summary
10 Everett BM, Pradhan AD, Solomon DH, et al Rationale and design of the Cardiovascular Inflammation Reduction Trial: a test of the inflammatory hypothesis of atherothrombosis. The clinical benefit is especially questionable for patients with degenerative osteoarthritis: in a trial using a sham surgery,[2] knee arthroscopy had no effect, and this finding was confirmed in another study.[3] The difficulty of implanting evidence-based surgery in daily surgical practice is highlighted by the large number of patients who still have arthroscopy in osteoarthritic knees.[4]
