HTO With and Without Arthroscopy

NCT00284622 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 98

Last updated 2009-01-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It remains unknown if a concomitant arthroscopic knee debridement would increase the benefits of surgery (quality of life and functional ability) for young active patients with medial compartment OA of the knee and varus alignmen. This additional procedure has a low incidence of morbidity and would potentially allow for treatment of meniscal tears and articular damage, as well as joint lavage to remove debris and inflammatory factors. A trial is needed to determine whether HTO with concomitant knee arthroscopy will result in better overall outcomes for this patient group.The objective is to compare the quality of life, functional status, pain, and swelling of patients who undergo an HTO with or without a concomitant knee joint arthroscopy to address additional joint pathology
