The clinical efficacy of hydatoncus treatment of anterior horn of meniscus by resecting hydatoncus in arthroscope and thread string inside the knee joint
【Objective】 To observe the clinical efficacy of treating hydatoncus in anterior horn of meniscus by resecting hydatoncus in arthroscope and thread string inside the knee joint. 【Methods】 14 patients with 15 cases with hydatoncus in anterior horn of meniscus by resecting hydatoncus in arthroscope and thread string inside the knee joint had been brought into this study, followed up 12 monthes in average and evaluated clinical efficacy based on Barrett standard and follow - up in patients with IKDC and Lysholm score. 【Results】 14 cases had gotten clinical healing in 15 cases with 93.3% healing rate. Average IKDC score increased to(81.5±3.69) postoperatively from (53.8±4.25) preoperately and average Lysholm score increased to (80.6±6.58) postoperatively from (54.4±6.27) preoperately. 【Conclusion】 The technique of treating hydatoncus in anterior horn of meniscus by resecting hydatoncus in arthroscope and thread string inside the knee joint is an effectual and simple way, and it is an innovation of arthroscope technique.
