Abstract
The main scheme of this speech is a step-by-step presentation of the development of a novel concept of arthroscopic approach for OA knee. First, a new entity “medial abrasion syndrome (MAS)” and the related hidden lesions will be defined. Its role in the pathogenesis of medial compartmental OA knee will be discussed based on our series of studies. The techniques and clinical outcomes of two novel arthroscopic procedures: arthroscopic medial release (AMR) and arthroscopic cartilage regeneration facilitating procedure (ACRFP) which have been developed according to the rationale conceptualized from the results of our basic research will be described. Finally, a concept of total management of OA knee - knee health promotion option (KHPO) will be proposed.
