Falling out of love with knee arthroscopy
Abstract
Knee arthroscopy, the most common orthopaedic procedure, is used to treat middle-aged or elderly patients with knee pain, with over two million patients undergoing this surgery every year worldwide. A new clinical practice guideline advises against the use of arthroscopy in these patients, contradicting the common use of this procedure in clinical practice.
