Persistent Symptomatic Knee After Total Knee Replacement. Is Knee Arthroscopy Helpful?

Abstract

Persistent symptoms following total knee replacement (TKR) could be diagnostically challenging. We present three cases of knee arthroscopy following TKR to illustrate the effectiveness of arthroscopy for the diagnosis and treatment of persistent symptomatic knee. It is concluded that arthroscopy after TKR is a relatively safe and effective procedure for well selected cases with persistent symptoms following TKR.
