Abstract:
Objective To observe and compare the short-time outcome in meniscal lesions with radiofrquency coblation technology or normally mechanical technology under the arthroscopy. Methods Thirty-eight patients with mentisci injury was selected, and divided into radiorfequency and normal group according to the standards. The patients in former group were treated with menisci reformation by radiofrequency, while in later group by menisci parthial excision. Some criteria were analysised and evaluated by comparison of operation-time, post-operation effusion of joint and improvement on the degrees of flexion and extension, clinical symptoms, functional restoration of knee joint of both groups. Results The average operation-time in radiofrequency group was less than that of normal group apparently. It was less possible for effusion of joint happened in the radiofrequency group after operation. The improvement on the degrees of flexion and extension and functional restoration of joint in the radiofrequency group exceeded in another group. Conclusion The radiofrequency under the arthroscopy is simper and less leading the surrounded tissue injury with more excellent functional restoration fo knee joint, also it has more advantage than the normal menisci partial excision mechanically.
