Background And Purpose: A doubling of arthroscopic meniscal procedures was observed in Denmark from 2000 to 2011, but arthroscopic meniscal procedures for degenerative meniscal tears are no longer recommended. We performed an updated investigation of Danish meniscal procedure trends in the private and public healthcare sectors in Denmark from 2006 to 2018, including trends for other arthroscopic knee procedures.
Patients And Methods: We extracted data on the 5 most commonly registered arthroscopic knee procedures (diagnostic arthroscopy, meniscal surgery, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, synovectomy, and cartilage resection) from the Danish National Patient Register from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2018, linked with the Danish Population Statistic Register, to obtain data on age and sex.

Rationale: Pigmented villonodular synovitis is a rare disease which may involve any joints. It has localized and diffuse forms, and the latter is more aggressive with a higher recurrence rate. Different treatments are applied to each form of the disease, but there is no standard surgical procedure or any consensus on whether adjuvant therapy should be used.

Introduction: The surgical, arthroscopic synovectomy and radiosynovectomy (radiosynoviorthesis, RSO) all have great practical importance, since they can eliminate the posttraumatic joint bleedings and prevent the further joint destructions in hemophilic patients. The aim of this study was to examine the role of RSO in the prevention of joint bleedings in hemophilic patients.
Methods: 54 out of 684 RSO patients were hemophiliacs.
The number of cases with rheumatoid arthritis who requires arthroscopic synovectomy is declining, but it is still a useful procedure in combination with effective pharmacologic disease control. For the destruction of glenohumeral joint, total shoulder arthroplasty is effective for pain relief and functional outcome for patients without rotator cuff impairment. The reverse shoulder arthroplasty has been shown favorable short-term results, but need a careful indication for rheumatoid shoulder with poor bone stock and bone quality.

Introduction: Recurrent joint hemarthroses due to hemophilia (Factor VIII and Factor IX deficiency) often lead to invasive orthopedic interventions to decrease frequency of bleeding and/or to alleviate pain associated with end-stage hemophilic arthropathy.
Aim: Identify trends in invasive orthopedic interventions among people with hemophilia who were enrolled in the Universal Data Collection (UDC) program during the period 2000-2010.
Methods: Data were collected from 130 hemophilia treatment centers in the United States annually during the period 2000-2010, in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
