Study:Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Provides Little Benefit-Try Conservative Knee Treatment First
According to leading Orthopedic Doctors in Israel, arthroscopic knee surgery is not an effective method for treating arthritis knee pain and conservative knee treatments should be performed first. The following is excerpt is from a research study entitled, Osteoarthritis, the hazard of living longer: arthroscopy vs. conservative treatment.
“The lengthening of the average life span has led to an increase in degenerative diseases, among them osteoarthritis. Arthroscopy, which has been used extensively to decrease pain and inflammation and increase the range of motion, has recently been challenged as the treatment of choice… Since there is limited benefit to be gained from arthroscopy in cases where there is no mechanical damage to the knee, we suggest that nonsurgical, conservative methods be employed in treating the majority of cases of osteoarthritis.”
