Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Synovial inflammatory conditions of knee joint is one of the most common non traumatic disorders of knee joint. Diagnosis of synovial inflammatory conditions by advance methods like Arthroscopic guided selective biopsy and histopathological examination of synovial tissue provides accurate diagnosis without any complications. Methods: A prospective study was performed on 40 patients at Government General Hospital, Kurnool Medical College ,Kurnool for 2 years from 2011 to 2013. The age of the patients ranged from 20 to 50 years. We have used standard Arthroscopic equipment with all the necessary accessory instruments. Results: Among 40 cases ,25 cases were diagnosed chronic non-specific synovitis,6 cases as Tuberculosis,5 cases of Rheumatoid synovitis,1 is Crystal synovitis, 1 is Pigmented villonodular synovitis,1 is Synovial chondromatosis,1 is Synovial sarcoma. Among 6 cases of TB synovitis 4 cases are associated with arthritis,2 cases with Medial menisceal tear. Conclusion: Arthroscopic operation is a qualified method of treatment with low morbidity. The rate of intra and postoperative complications are less. Post-operative pain is very less, functional restoration of knee joint movement is quick. However execution of arthroscopic procedure is technically demanding, it requires comprehensive knowledge and vast experience in the field of arthroscopy.
