title: [Injuries of the menisci in patients with deforming gonarthrosis].
abstract: The authors present their observations concerning the difficulties in the diagnosis of the injuries of the menisci of the knee joint associated with deforming arthrosis which have quite a number of similar clinical signs with injuries of the menisci. The importance of an arthroscopic study of the meniscus of the knee joint is demonstrated for revealing the lesion as well as a possibility of solution to the problem of partial meniscectomy. The expediency of such tactics is confirmed by the results of the treatment of 28 patients, in 10 of whom lesions of the inner menisci were revealed and partial meniscectomies were performed. The remaining 18 patients were given sanation of the joint cavity. The results of the treatment with a follow-up period up to 5 years were evaluated as good.
