Effect of viscosupplementation in arthroscopic partial meniscectomy
- Conditions
- Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
- Registration Number
- KCT0004921
- Lead Sponsor
- Kyung Hee University Hospital
- Brief Summary
Results: The 100 mm VAS score for pain was significantly lower in the viscosupplementation group at 2 weeks postsurgery (27.5 mm vs. 40.7 mm, P = 0.047). ROM was significantly greater in the viscosupplementation group than in the control group at 2 weeks (131.5° vs. 121.0°, P = 0.044) post-surgery. No significant differences were observed in the IKDC or in the Tegner, Lysholm, and WOMAC scores between the two groups. Conclusions: Viscosupplementation after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy significantly reduced pain at 2 weeks post-surgery and improved ROM of the knee at 2 weeks post-surgery. There might be some benefits in terms of pain and functional recovery of viscosupplementation after arthroscopic surgery.
