[Arthroscopy with miniarthrotomy in the treatment of damaged menisci and cruciate ligaments of the knee.].
The authors describe the therapeutic procedure, surgical technique and results in a group of 100 patients operated at the First Orthopaedic Clinic of the Masaryk University in Brno on account of lesions of the meniscus and cruciate ligaments of the knee joint. The surgery is started by arthroscopic verification of the diagnosis, treatment of menisceal lesions and then the authors proceed by treatment of the lesion of the cruciate ligaments, using Brückner's single-stage method. The evaluation of results of the submitted group is focused on the difference of the plastic operation of the cruciate ligament performed by a anteromedial parapatellar approach or from miniarthrotomy. The results of the evaluated study prefer the combination of arthroscopy with miniarthrotomy. Key words: arthroscopy, cruciate ligaments, ligamentous replacements.
