important. According to a recent non-published
study by Gadea, isokinetic rehabilitation (at
240°/sec), by acting as catalyst, seemed to
boost the healing phase [4].
Corticoid injections are effective for cartilage
edema, Hoffa syndrome, synovitis, arthro
fibrosis, or degenerative meniscal lesions. In
case of severe cartilage lesions (arthritis),
visco-supplementation is a good option.
If a true tendinitis is identified with MRI, one
might consider eccentric stretching and
strengthening. We believe that isokinetic
rehabilitation permits to better control all
parameters to work under the threshold of pain.
Finally, an arthroscopic evaluation should never
be considered as a simple diagnostic arthroscopy
but only to treat a Cyclops syndrome or a
meniscal lesion previously analyzed by imaging.
