Open knee surgery for the treatment of large symptomatic cartilage defects is routinely performed in the inpatient stay, where the patients are hospitalized for several days after surgery. This has implications for both costs for the health system and medical complications such as hospital-related infections. In this article, we describe for the first time that this type of operation can be performed as outpatient surgery without any complications for the patients and with good clinical results that in our sample do not differ from those reported in larger groups of patients who underwent surgery and were hospitalized thereafter.
治疗有症状的大面积软骨缺损的开放性膝关节手术通常在住院期间进行，术后患者需住院数天。这对卫生系统的成本以及诸如医院相关感染等医疗并发症都有影响。在本文中，我们首次描述了这种类型的手术可以作为门诊手术进行，对患者没有任何并发症，并且临床效果良好，在我们的样本中，这些效果与接受手术并随后住院的更大患者群体所报告的效果没有差异。
