In recent years, arthroscopy has gained importance in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with a painful knee (Ireland et al., 1980; Dandy, 1981). An important application of the arthroscope is in the removal of loose bodies from the knee, and endoscopy has also proved to be more accurate in diagnosis than more conventional methods (Dandy and O'Carroll, 1982). The identification and removal of foreign bodies from soft tissues and joints can be difficult. In addition to conventional radiography, other more specialized techniques including stereotaxis (McFadden, 1972) have been applied to this condition. We report 2 cases in which arthroscopy proved to be invaluable in the location and removal of a foreign body from the soft tissues around the knee.
近年来，关节镜检查在膝关节疼痛患者的诊断和治疗中变得愈发重要（爱尔兰等人，1980年；丹迪，1981年）。关节镜的一项重要应用是清除膝关节内的游离体，并且内镜检查在诊断方面也已被证明比传统方法更为准确（丹迪和奥卡罗尔，1982年）。从软组织和关节中识别并清除异物可能具有挑战性。除了传统的X线摄影，其他更专业的技术，包括立体定向技术（麦克法登，1972年），也已应用于这种情况。我们报告了2例病例，其中关节镜检查在定位和清除膝关节周围软组织中的异物方面被证明具有极高的价值。
