Talk:Arthroscopy

message: Knee arthroscopy is fairly redundant with this (currently brief) article. They should be merged. I'll probably get around to it soon, but I'm leaving this note in case someone gets inspired before I do. FreplySpang (talk) 14:44, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from knee athroscopy 

message: i created a section about knee artroscopy as promised . I might add more info if I find any later.Also I edited an external link that was supposed to have arthroscopic videos when it only had 3d presentations of the knee parts and thus I added a new link containing various such videos....Tbere 22:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for working on it - it would be helpful to add sources in that section as well. ChrisKennedy(talk) 04:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: edits

message: I notice that there are sections within this article on knee, shoulder, wrist and spinal arthroscopy, I am going to add a short paragraph on hip arthroscopy to make it a more complete article. Talk:Kammmio  thank you for providing guidance for the use of external links. I am going to upload a short paragraph on hip arthroscopy without any external links. I would welcome any further feedback. Smith&Nephew (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Two references (2, 3) were cited to support the claim that arthroscopy does not worsen symptoms, "unlike physical therapy".  There is no evidence in the two cited articles to suggest that physical therapy worsens the condition.  So I removed the phrase "unlike physical therapy".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JennySB (talk • contribs) 03:50, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit - removed "unlike physical therapy"  

message: "People who undergo this surgery for 'wear and tear' joint pain, including osteoarthritis and meniscal tears, usually have high hopes for the results, but from time to time the result is not satisfactory. Nevertheless, it is worth trying, as it does not worsen the damage.."
BMJ 2015: "The small inconsequential benefit seen from interventions that include arthroscopy for the degenerative knee is limited in time and absent at one to two years after surgery. Knee arthroscopy is associated with harms. Taken together, these findings do not support the practise of arthroscopic surgery for middle aged or older patients with knee pain with or without signs of osteoarthritis."
Advisory Board 2017: "Expert panel: Arthroscopic surgery almost never helps degenerative knee problems".
"It is worth trying" does not have the proper objectivity that a Wikipedia article is supposed to present.
This article perhaps is edited by people who have ulterior money-related motives for presenting the information the way that they do.
