THE ROLE OF ARTHROSCOPIC COLD-PLASMA COBULATION IN THE TREATMENT OF POSTTRAUMATIC SYNOVITIS OF THE KNEE JOINT
The first experience of using arthroscopic cold-plasma cobra in the treatment of posttraumatic synovitis of the knee joint in 45 patients is presented. This technique gives an advantage, in comparison with the traditional method of arthroscopic manipulation. Accessibility for exposure in all parts of the joint, a more accurate mode of coveting synovial tissue, achieving a smoother surface of the synovial tissue after treatment. Good results were obtained in 93.4%, satisfactory - in 4.4% (2 patients), unsatisfactory - in 2.2% (1 patient) cases. The method of arthroscopic cold-plasma coblation is characterized by minimal traumatism, it allows to reduce the terms of postoperative rehabilitation and restoration of professional sports activity. The results of the study give the authors a reason to recommend arthroscopic cold-plasma cobulation to the use of specialized departments in medical practice.
