Of utmost importance is establishing the correct portal for the arthroscope, and it is time well spent at the beginning of the surgical procedure to verify the proper location of the arthroscope and not simply insert the arthroscope "a thumb-breadth above [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Knee arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. In it, a miniature camera is inserted through a small incision (portal). This provides a clear view of the inside of the knee. [orthoinfo.aaos.org]

Codes for surgical procedures are registered according to the classification of healthcare procedures [ 12 ]. In addition, information about the type and level of the health care and the date of the visit is included. [doi.org]

More serious tears may require surgical procedures. Surgery, however, does not appear to be better than non surgical care. [en.wikipedia.org]

Abstract We assessed the accuracy of clinical evaluation, arthrography, and arthroscopy in the diagnosis of meniscal lesions in fifty knees in which arthrotomy was performed for disabling symptoms after evaluation by these three methods. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

METHODS: This cross-sectional observational pilot study included 50 knee OA patients with moderate to severe pain (VAS 40) in the target knee. The presence of NP was determined based on the PainDETECT questionnaire. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

METHODS: In the course of 1 year, 291 patients with knee pain and clinically suspected of meniscal lesion were referred to the regional orthopaedic division and subjected to MRI and clinical examination by an experienced surgeon. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevalence of bone contusions seen on MRI was as follows: 60.6% LFC, 73.1% LTP, 6.2% MFC, and 21.2% MTP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Our data suggest that the menisci appear to play only a minor role for the sensorimotor induced anterior posterior knee stability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
