Purpose: To assess the utility, safety, and accuracy of in-office needle arthroscopic (IONA) synovial biopsy as a diagnostic tool during treatment of drug-resistant monoarticular inflammatory arthritis of the knee.
Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed with rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis with treatment-resistant monoarticular knee involvement who underwent in-office needle arthroscopic synovial biopsy were considered for inclusion. The exclusion criteria were any current malignancies or infection.
Aim Of The Study: To describe the surgical findings of the anterolateral complex in patients with the "unhappy triad" lesion of the knee.
Method: One hundred and twenty-five consecutive patients presenting with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears were selected for this study. Only cases, evaluated with a valgus stress test under fluoroscopy, with a medial opening more than 5 mm of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) were included in the study (11 patients).
