Q

What are some research findings regarding irrigation fluid type?

A
  • LRS may be more physiology for cartilage with fewer negative effects on meniscus than saline
  • Isotonic solutions (300mOs/L) are actually hypotonic to joint fluid which could increase chondrocyte death. Initial evidence the hyperosmolar fluids (up to 600mOs/L) may have chondroprotective effects
