Arthroscopic resection, debridement for knee OA may not affect progression to TKA
Published results showed arthroscopic resection or debridement of degenerative knee tissue in patients with osteoarthritis was not associated with delayed or hastened progression to total knee arthroplasty at long-term follow-up.Researchers performed a secondary analysis of a single-center, assessor-blinded randomized clinical trial that analyzed long-term outcomes of 178 patients presenting with
