Efficacy of Knee Arthroscopic Radiofrequency Therapy for Mucoid Degeneration of Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of knee arthroscopic radiofrequency in the treatment of mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament(MD-ACL).Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with MD-ACL treated in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent knee arthroscopic surgery and rehabilitation training after surgery.Vision analogue scale(VAS)score,Lysholm score,and International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC)score were assessed during the follow-up period.Results All 30 patients successfully completed the operation,and the surgery duration was(82.16±15.12)min(60-110 min).Intraoperative blood loss was(5.40±2.49)mL(3-10 mL).No complications occurred.There were 2 patients undergoing autologous graftanterior cruciate ligament reconstruct.There was no sign of recurrence during the postoperative follow-up period,and the knee range of motion was normal.The VAS score was 6.46±1.04 before surgery,decreased to 3.00±0.78 at 3rd month,and 0.56±0.50 at 6th month during the follow-up period.The preoperative Lysholm score was 58.50±7.32,which increased to 74.83±4.25 at 3rd month,and 87.66±2.85 at 6th month during the follow-up period.The IKDC score was 54.16±4.25 before operation,which increased to 76.13±5.01 at 3rd month and 87.43±5.88 at 6th month during the follow-up period.The differences before and after surgery were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Knee arthroscopic radiofrequency therapy is a safe and effective treatment for MD-ACL,which can significantly improve knee joint function and reduce pain.
