Twenty-seven painful knee replacements were evaluated arthroscopically. The diagnostic and therapeutic value of these arthroscopic procedures was studied retrospectively. In 5 of the 27 cases, the arthroscopy revealed no diagnosis for the pain. Some form of arthroscopic treatment was performed in 20 cases; in 6 of these 20 cases, however, the treatment did not reduce the pain. Based on these findings, we conclude that the indications for arthroscopic evaluation and treatment of painful knee prostheses are limited.
对27例膝关节置换术后疼痛患者进行了关节镜检查评估。回顾性研究了这些关节镜检查操作的诊断和治疗价值。27例患者中，有5例关节镜检查未发现疼痛原因。20例患者接受了某种形式的关节镜治疗；然而，在这20例患者中，有6例治疗后疼痛并未减轻。基于这些发现，我们得出结论，关节镜评估和治疗膝关节置换术后疼痛的适应症有限。
