Abstract

Objectives: We investigated the effectiveness of arthroscopic debridement followed by viscosupplementation using different hyaluronic acid (HA) products in selected patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: The study included 77 women (mean age 50±5 years; range 40 to 60 years) who had mild knee osteoarthritis according to the modified ARA (American Rheumatism Association) criteria and Ahlback classification. All the patients had degenerative meniscal tears. After three weeks from arthroscopic treatment (partial meniscectomy and debridement), the patients were randomly assigned to intraarticular injections of Na-hyaluronate (Orthovisc, n=38), streptococcal HA (Adant, n=21), and Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc, n=18) given once a week for three weeks. Evaluations were made preoperatively, before and three weeks after injections using a patient satisfaction questionnaire, visual analog scale (VAS), and the WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities) osteoarthritis index. Results: All patients had significant improvement following both arthroscopic treatment and viscosupplementation (p<0.0001). Following injections, patient satisfaction (p<0.01), WOMAC and VAS (p<0.0001) scores were significantly improved in the Na-hyaluronate and Hylan G-F 20 groups, whereas the only significant change was in VAS scores in the streptococcal HA group. However, comparison of the three groups did not yield any significant difference with respect to patient satisfaction, WOMAC, and VAS scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our results suggest that arthroscopic debridement combined with viscosupplementation is an effective treatment option for selected patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Özet

Amaç: Gonartrozlu dizlerde artroskopik debridman ve değişik hiyalüronik asit (HA) preparatları ile uygulanan viskosuplementasyonun uygun hastalarda yararlılığı değerlendirildi. Çalışma planı: Çalışmaya, modifiye ARA (American Rheumatism Association) ölçütlerine göre tanı konan ve Ahlback sınıflamasına göre en çok evre 4 gonartrozu olan 77 kadın hasta (ort. yaş 50±5; dağılım 40-60) alındı. Olguların tümünde dejeneratif menisküs yırtığı saptandı. Olgulara artroskopik tedaviden (parsiyel menisektomi ve debridman) üç hafta sonra rastgele seçimle Na-hiyaluronat (Orthovisc, n=38), streptokokal HA (Adant, n=21), Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc, n=18) ile haftada bir kez olmak üzere, üç kez eklemiçi viskosuplementasyon uygulandı. Uygulanan tedaviler, ameliyat öncesi, enjeksiyondan önce ve üç hafta sonrasında olmak üzere memnuniyet durumu anketi, görsel ağrı skorlaması (GAS) ve WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities) osteoartrit indeksi ile değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Tedavi öncesine göre artroskopi ve viskosuplementasyondan ayrı ayrı çok ileri derecede düzelme sağlandığı görüldü (p 0.05). Çıkarımlar: Diz osteoartritinde, uygun seçilmiş hastalarda artroskopik debridman ve viskosuplementasyonun başarılı bir tedavi yöntemi olduğunu düşünüyoruz.
