Description: | Number of patients undergoing arthroscopic procedures for knee osteoarthritis. |
Rationale: | Several large, high-quality randomized controlled trials have failed to show any clinical benefit of arthroscopic procedures for knee osteoarthritis (Herrlin et al. 2013; Kirkley et al. 2008; Kise et al. 2016; Moseley et al. 2002). There may also be some harms related to this procedure (Thorlund et al. 2015). |
