Articular cartilage lesion is a common disease to be treated by arthroscopic surgery. It will eventually progress to osteoarthritis without proper management, which can affect patients' work and daily life seriously. Although mechanical debridement and laser have been used clinically for its treatment, due to their respective drawbacks, radiofrequency has drawn increasing attention from clinicians as a new technique with more advantages. However, the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency have also been questioned. In this article, the scope of application of radiofrequency was reviewed following an introduction of its development history and mechanism, and the methods to ensure the safety and effectiveness of radiofrequency through power and temperature control were summarized.
关节软骨损伤是一种常见疾病，常需通过关节镜手术进行治疗。若未得到妥善处理，最终会发展为骨关节炎，严重影响患者的工作和日常生活。尽管机械清创术和激光已在临床上用于治疗，但由于它们各自存在的缺点，射频作为一种具有更多优势的新技术，已越来越受到临床医生的关注。然而，射频的安全性和有效性也受到了质疑。本文在介绍射频的发展历史和作用机制之后，对其应用范围进行了综述，并总结了通过功率和温度控制来确保射频安全性和有效性的方法。
