Arthroscopic lavage and debridement for osteoarthritis of the knee

JN Gibson, MD White, VM Chapman, and RK Strachan

University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

We measured the effect of arthroscopic lavage and debridement of the osteoarthritic knee by comparing objective measurements of thigh muscle function before and after operation. There was some improvement in quadriceps isokinetic torque at six and 12 weeks after joint lavage but not after debridement. Neither method significantly relieved the patients' symptoms.
