[Gonalgia following meniscectomy. Arthrographic fingings. Review of 200 case records and radio-clinical comparison].

The authors have examined by arthrography two hundred knees which had remained painful after meniscectomy. In 170 cases this examination revealed a possible explanation for the pain; residual pathological posterior horn, lesion of the other meniscus, degenerative changes of the cartilages, lesions of the ligaments. 91 patients sustained a second surgical procedure. In 81 cases the arthrographic findings were confirmed, in 10 cases surgical exploration found more lesions than expected.
