The clinical and roentgenological data on 30 patients with unsatisfactory recovery or recurrent symptoms after meniscectomy were analysed. The meniscectomy was regarded as having been the wrong choice of therapy in four patients and as ineffective therapy in 11. In 10 patients other knee lesions dominated postoperatively, in three the recovery was delayed for no obvious reason but the symptoms slowly disappeared, and in the remaining two patients a degenerative osteoarthritis developing some time after the meniscectomy was regarded as the cause of the recurring symptoms. We conclude that with an optimal clinical and arthrographic analysis and with careful operative tecnique as many as 17 arthrotomies (out of 30 primary and 13 reoperations) in the material presented could have been avoided.
对30例半月板切除术后恢复不佳或症状复发患者的临床及X线数据进行了分析。在4例患者中，半月板切除术被认为是错误的治疗选择，在11例患者中被认为是无效治疗。10例患者术后存在其他膝关节病变，3例患者恢复延迟但无明显原因，症状逐渐消失，其余2例患者半月板切除术后一段时间出现的退行性骨关节炎被认为是症状复发的原因。我们得出结论，通过最佳的临床和关节造影分析以及仔细的手术技术，在所呈现的病例中（30例初次手术和13例再次手术）多达17例关节切开术本可避免。
