Arthroscopic treatment of total knee arthroplasty complications

[摘要] The prevalence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing and considerable growth in TKAs is foreseen in coming decades as society ages; the development of advanced surgical techniques and ameliorations in implant designs have contributed to the improvement in satisfaction after TKA; however, the incidence of complications is also increasing as the frequency of TKA increases.1 More and more patients with symptomatic TKA will require the evaluation of an orthopaedic surgeon. In this subgroup of patients, arthroscopy has the potential to diagnose and treat the causes of post-arthroplasty pain.
