Abstract
In many cases clinical and laboratory data and x-rays are insufficient to diagnose the aetiology of synovitis in gonarthritis and to plan adequate treatment. The efficacy of arthroscopy in the management of the knee lesion was studied in mon- and polyarthritis. A classification of 'very useful', 'useful' and 'not useful' was used. On the basis of results reported here we outline the indications for arthroscopy in mon- and polyarthritis.
