[Complications in 4,000 arthroscopies].

From 1983 to 1989 we performed about 4,000 arthroscopies of the knee in our hospital. Iatrogen lesions of the cartilage were the most frequent complication. Other complications were edemas of the subcutaneous tissue, the necessary of arthrotomy, long operating time, subcutaneous hematomas, postoperative effusion or hemarthrosis and thrombosis. The rate of severe complications was 0.5% as described by other authors. Arthroscopy has a low rate of complications, but it isn't a method without risks.

[Arthroscopic treatment of chondropathia patellae with lateral release and motor driven instruments].

The treatment of chondromalacia of the patella is a medical problem. There are no sure concepts of therapy. We have analysed the value of the only lateral release or shaving by motorizised instruments or the combination of both methods. After lateral release have many patients no pain but the other methods also helped many patients. The comparison of these groups is impossible because of the different structure. A prospective randomised study has to bring the answer to this question.

[Development of operative therapy in a public hospital 1910 to 1980].

An analysis of the operation records for the years from 1910 to 1980 shows a considerable increase in the indication for surgical treatment. While the average age of the groups of patients does not increase in general, an increase in the number of patients operated on in higher age can be proved. This paper gives an outline of problems of preparation for operations, the application of narcosis techniques and postoperational care for these groups of patients.
