Long-Term Outcomes of Arthroscopically Verified Focal Cartilage Lesions in the Knee: A 19-Year Multicenter Follow-up with Patient-Reported Outcomes
Birkenes, Thomas; Furnes, Ove Nord; Lygre, Stein Håkon Låstad; Solheim, Eirik Johan; Årøen, Asbjørn; Knutsen, Gunnar; Drogset, Jon Olav; Heir, Stig; Engebretsen, Lars; Løken, Sverre Bertrand; Visnes, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Focal cartilage lesions (FCLs) are frequently found during knee arthroscopies and may impair quality of life (QoL) significantly. Several treatment options with good short-term results are available, but the ... -
Long-term risk of arthroplasty and patient-reported outcomes following focal cartilage lesions in the knee
Birkenes, Thomas (Doctoral thesis, 2024-11-22)Bakgrunn: Fokale brusklesjoner er vanlige i kneet. Ingen av behandlingsmodaliteten for slike lesjoner er vist å være bedre enn andre. Få studier har rapportert den langsiktige prognosen, og risikoen for påfølgende ... -
The Long-Term Risk of Knee Arthroplasty in Patients with Arthroscopically Verified Focal Cartilage Lesions: A Linkage Study with the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register, 1999 to 2020
Birkenes, Thomas; Furnes, Ove Nord; Lygre, Stein Håkon Låstad; Solheim, Eirik Johan; Årøen, Asbjørn; Knutsen, Gunnar; Drogset, Jon Olav; Heir, Stig; Engebretsen, Lars; Løken, Sverre Bertrand; Visnes, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Focal cartilage lesions are common in the knee. The risk of later ipsilateral knee arthroplasty remains unknown. The purposes of the present study were to evaluate the long-term cumulative risk of knee arthroplasty ... -
Previous cartilage surgery is associated with inferior patient-reported outcomes after knee arthroplasty
Birkenes, Thomas; Furnes, Ove Nord; Lygre, Stein Håkon Låstad; Solheim, Eirik Johan; Årøen, Asbjørn; Knutsen, Gunnar; Drogset, Jon Olav; Heir, Stig; Engebretsen, Lars; Løken, Sverre Bertrand; Visnes, Håvard (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose: The hypothesis of the present study assumed that a history of focal cartilage lesions would not affect Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome scores (KOOSs) following knee arthroplasty compared to a matched national ...
