Knee arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure, has transformed the treatment of knee pathologies by enabling direct visualization and management with minimal tissue disruption. Recent advances in precision medicine have introduced a new dimension to this field, allowing for highly individualized surgical approaches considering each patient's unique genetic, environmental, and biomechanical characteristics. This review explores the integration of precision medicine into knee arthroscopy, focusing on tailored approaches and emerging technologies. Key innovations such as robotic-assisted surgery, advanced imaging, and patient-specific instrumentation have enhanced surgical accuracy and patient outcomes, reduced recovery times, and minimized postoperative complications. The review also examines the role of biomarkers in guiding personalized treatment strategies, including ligament reconstructions, meniscal repairs, and cartilage restoration, which are now being refined to cater to the specific needs of individual patients. While the benefits of these innovations are clear, there are challenges to widespread adoption, including cost, resource allocation, and the need for further research to validate the efficacy of precision-driven approaches in knee arthroscopy. Moreover, the ethical considerations surrounding personalized medicine, such as patient privacy and genetic data usage, must also be addressed. Despite these barriers, the future of knee arthroscopy in the era of precision medicine holds great promise, with ongoing developments in artificial intelligence, genomics, and biomarker discovery poised to further refine patient-centered care. This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into how precision medicine reshapes knee arthroscopy, offering a glimpse into the future of more targeted and effective orthopedic interventions. By embracing these advancements, surgeons and healthcare providers can ensure optimal outcomes for patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
膝关节镜检查是一种微创手术，它通过实现直接可视化和以最小的组织损伤进行处理，改变了膝关节疾病的治疗方式。精准医学的最新进展为该领域带来了新的维度，考虑到每个患者独特的基因、环境和生物力学特征，从而能够采用高度个性化的手术方法。本综述探讨了精准医学在膝关节镜检查中的整合，重点关注定制化方法和新兴技术。机器人辅助手术、先进成像技术和患者特异性器械等关键创新提高了手术准确性和患者预后，缩短了恢复时间，并将术后并发症降至最低。该综述还研究了生物标志物在指导个性化治疗策略中的作用，包括韧带重建、半月板修复和软骨修复，这些治疗策略目前正在不断完善以满足个体患者的特定需求。虽然这些创新的益处显而易见，但广泛应用仍面临挑战，包括成本、资源分配以及需要进一步研究以验证精准驱动方法在膝关节镜检查中的疗效。此外，围绕个性化医疗的伦理考量，如患者隐私和基因数据使用，也必须得到解决。尽管存在这些障碍，但在精准医学时代，膝关节镜检查的未来前景广阔，人工智能、基因组学和生物标志物发现方面的不断发展有望进一步完善以患者为中心的护理。这篇全面的综述提供了关于精准医学如何重塑膝关节镜检查的宝贵见解，让我们得以一窥更具针对性和有效性的骨科干预措施的未来。通过接受这些进步，外科医生和医疗服务提供者可以确保接受膝关节镜检查的患者获得最佳治疗效果。
