[Arthroscopic meniscectomy in the General Hospital of Pozega--5-years' experience].

In this paper, a 5-year-experience in arthroscopic meniscectomy at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, General Hospital Pozega, is presented. Patient data were obtained from medical documentation and physical examination after surgery and completed rehabilitation. We describe arthroscopic examination of the knee joint in our patients and finding of meniscal rupture, which ended with partial or subtotal meniscectomy. During the period since 1st January 1995 to December 31st 1999, at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in our hospital, 442 arthroscopies of the knee joints were performed. We found meniscal rupture in 235 patients (239 knees). In 232 knee joints partial or subtotal arthroscopic meniscectomy, and in seven knee joints arthrotomy and open meniscectomy according Smillie were done. In the last five years (1995-1999) the most common orthopaedic operation at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, General Hospital Pozega was arthroscopic meniscectomy (19% of orthopaedic operations). Complications (3.3%) of arthroscopic meniscectomy, which did not affect the good result of the treatment, are also presented. Authors discuss this and other arthroscopic procedures of treatment of meniscal rupture and specify their advantages and disadvantages.
