Arthroscopic meniscectomy using holmium yag laser

Abstract

Our prospective study compare 40 holmium yag laser meniscectomies with 40 mechanical meniscectomies. Mean duration of laser meniscectomy was 12 minutes againts 10 minutes with the mechanical instruments. In only one case, laser meniscectomy was impossible due to air abuble phenomenon and two superficial cartilaginous thermal changes were observed. In the laser group the effusion was less frequent and less important. Pain difference was not statistically significant. Return to range of motion was very fast in the laser group. Helmium Yag laser is safe and effective and results are a little bit better than mechanical instruments. Unfortunately, the cost remains very high and limits its use. However, meniscectomy is not the only advantage of laser system. it is effective for synovectomy, lateral release, cartilaginous shaving, and even bone abrasion.
