ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the indication of arthroscope by examining the correlations between cartilage injury degree confirmed by MRI and postoperative effect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From Aug. 2005 to April 2008, 87 cases with knee osteoarthritis were treated by arthroscopes including 44 males and 43 females,aged from 16 to 67 years (means 46.3 years). Arthrodial cartilage of knee was graded by ICRS MR, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated by Lysholm scoring.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All 87 knees of 87 cases were followed-up for from 12 to 30 months (averaged 23 months). The cartilage injury degree of knees was graded as follows grade 4 in 30 cases, grade 3 in 23 cases, grade 2 in 20 cases, grade 1 in 12 cases, grade 0 in 2 cases, means grade (2.770 +/- 1.138). Postoperative Lysholm score was from 59 to 100, means (95.170 +/- 7.556). Coefficient correlation (r) = -0.152, P = 0.159 > 0.05. Although the results had no correlations between cartilage injury degree and Lysholm score, negative correlation tendency existed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The patients with higher grade of knee cartilage injury degree confirmed by MRI (1.5T) have worse effect after operation, the grade is not a gold standard as a operation indication in arthroscopic procedure.</p>
