Abstract

AbstractKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is not merely a medical condition—it is a prevalent and incapacitating ailment that significantly affects the quality of life for millions worldwide, especially as they age. The incidence of KOA increases year by year with increasing age. This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of combining arthroscopy with sodium hyaluronate (SH) in the treatment of wound healing of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in elderly patients, with a focus on wound healing and overall joint function restoration. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the combination of arthroscopy and SH in geriatric KOA patients were identified through a systematic search of the scientific literature utilizing multiple databases and predefined search criteria. Ultimately, twelve investigations were included in the meta‐analysis. Using Stata 15.1 software, data extraction and analysis were conducted using both fixed‐ and random‐effects models, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted to assure the validity of the findings. Compared with arthroscopy alone, the combination of arthroscopy and SH significantly improved the efficiency rate, pain management (as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale), knee function (as measured by the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale) and decreased levels of the pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐1 and IL‐6. The meta‐analysis revealed minimal heterogeneity between studies, and the sensitivity analysis validated the results' reliability. The incorporation of SH into arthroscopic procedures for elderly patients with KOA provides significant therapeutic benefits, including improved wound healing, reduced inflammation and enhanced joint function overall. These results support the use of this combined approach in the management of KOA in the elderly population and emphasize the need for additional research to optimize treatment protocols and comprehend long‐term outcomes.
