    Abstract:
    Authors, on the base of own material, analyse a pathogenesis of the knee haematoma and ways and possibilities of the treatment in these cases. From 1991 to 2001 we performed 2950 knee arthroscopies. Knee haematoma was the main indication to perform arthroscopy in 382 patients. Reasons of knee haematoma were: ACL isolated injury in 154 patients, ACL injury connected with MM injury and/or chondral surface rupture in 88 patients, only chondral surface rupture in 52 patients, meniscus injury in 42 patients, osteochondrosis dissecans in 24 patients, synovial fold disruption in 11 patients, patellar lateral retinaculum disruption in 11 patients. The mean age of the patients was 23.5 years (range from 15 to 47 years). We performed: meniscus suturing in 21 cases, arthroscopic meniscectomy in 31 cases, suturing of injured ACL attachment in 65 cases, resection of injured ACL in 80 cases, stabilization of separating osteochondrous part by thin wire in 24 cases, suturing of the injured lateral retinaculum in 8 cases.
