Abstract

Objectives:To assess the outcomes of arthroscopic treatment for septic arthritis of the knee in Bach Mai Hospital. Subjects and Method: Descriptive study of 57 patients with 57 knee joints diagnosed septic arthritis who had arthroscopic surgery from September 2018 to September 2020 at the Department of Orthopedic & Spine- Bach Mai Hospital. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Results: The average age is 53.4 years with 24 female patients (42.1%) and 33 male patients (57.9%). Symptoms KOOS score increased from 42 ± 2.87 before surgery to 80 ± 2.56 2-month after surgery. Pain KOOS score increased from 42 ± 2.87 to 83 ± 2.14. Function in daily living (ADL) KOOS score increased from 40 ± 3.06 to 82 ± 2.74. Function in Sport and Recreation (Sport/Rec) KOOS score increased from 24 ± 5.56 to 56 ± 5.12. Quality of Life (QoL) KOOS score increased from 32 ± 3.77 to 79 ± 4.01. Average KOOS score increased from 36 ± 3.47 before surgery to 76 ± 3.88 2-month after surgery. Conclusion: Arthroscopic treatment for septic arthritis of the knee is an effective method, results in improving the severity of pain, patient’s knee function and quality of life.
