Abstract: BACKGROUND: Advanced knee osteoarthritis (KOA) impacts both knees, resulting in pain, deformity, and substantial restrictions in joint mobility. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of combining arthroscopic debridement with functional exercise in treating advanced KOA. METHODS: A total of 296 patients diagnosed with advanced KOA were divided into two groups: the observation group (n= 152) received arthroscopic debridement combined with functional exercise, while the control group (n= 144) underwent arthroscopic debridement only. The study compared and observed the outcomes between the two groups. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in knee joint function, inflammation level, and oxidative stress between the two groups before treatment (P> 0.05). Following treatment for six months, the observation group exhibited significantly lower visual analog scale (VAS) score, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels compared to the control group (P< 0.05). Meanwhile, the observation group showed significantly higher levels of Lysholm score, hospital for special surgery (HSS) score, range of motion (ROM) of knee, peak torque (PT) and total work (TW) for knee extension and flexion, superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and glutathione (GSH) compared to the control group (P< 0.05). Besides, the effective treatment rate in the observation group was notably higher than that in the control group (80.92% vs. 69.44%, P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The combination of arthroscopic debridement with functional exercise is an effective treatment for advanced KOA. This approach not only enhances the function and strength of knee joint and reduces inflammatory response but also boosts the body’s antioxidant capacity. The treatment exhibits encouraging outcomes and warrants broad implementation.
