(Best Syndication) Pinon Hills CA – Doctors should evaluate patients on a case by case basis before going forward with arthroscopic surgery for pain and swelling in arthritic knees, according to research from the Cochrane Collaboration. The Cochrane Collaboration was founded in 1993 and named after the British epidemiologist, Archie Cochrane.
The group says that arthroscopic debridement (AD) might still improve comfort and mobility in patients who suffer from the most common form of arthritis. “It should by no means be regarded as inappropriate for every knee,” says said lead author Wiroon Laupattarakasem, M.D., of Khon Kaen University in Thailand. AD is one of three types of anthroscopic surgeries the Cochrane Collaboration evaluated.
