Osteoarthritis patients' knee arthroscopies are still debatable. In a patient with painful arthritis and in the absence of mechanical complaints, the results of arthroscopic debridement are unpredictable and transient. However, increased knee function can be anticipated in carefully chosen individuals with mild to severe arthritis on standing radiographs, acute onset of symptoms, well-localized joint line discomfort, and uncomfortable mechanical symptoms.
