- Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of arthroscopic exploration combined with unicompartmental replacement surgery on knee joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods Totally 82 patients with knee osteoarthritis in our hospital from August 2021 to February 2024 were included and stochastically divided into the control group and the observed group,with 41 patients in each group.Using a single-blind design,both groups received routine treatment first,while the control group received unicompartmental replacement surgery.The observation group was treated with arthroscopic exploration combined with unicompartmental replacement.Knee joint scoring criteria(HSS),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Visual Analog Scale(VAS)scores,quality of life,serum superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)and knee joint range of motion were compared between two groups.Results After treatment,HSS score,social function,physical function,overall health score,SOD and knee flexion angle increased in both groups(P＜0.05),and the observed group was even higher(t=3.821,4.027,3.706,3.957,7.481 and 3.733,P＜0.05).PSQI score,VAS score,MDA and tibiofemoral angle decreased in both groups,and the observed group was even lower(t=4.601,8.375,9.084 and 3.625,P＜0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic exploration combined with unicompartmental replacement surgery can effectively improve knee joint function and enhance the quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
