| Abstract;Spontaneous Hemarthrosis of the Knee (SH) is a rare disease. Many authors have reported various kinds of operative treatment (synovectomy, meniscectomy, osteotomy etc.), and good outcomes. However, these conventional treatments are relatively invasive. Ablation technique provides accurate debridment limited to the diseased tissue, and enhances postoperative rehabilitation. On November 2, 2002, a 72-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for SH. Three months later, she underwent arthroscopic ablation due to repetitive hemarthrosis despite conservative treatment. Under arthroscope, synovial proliferation and bleeding were observed. Ablation was very effective for hemostasis. There was no recurrence for one year follow-up after the surgery. (author abst.) |
