Forty-seven patients, 36 men and 1 1 women, underwent operation ; one patient was operated on a second time and two patients had operations on both knees, making a total of 50 knees. The right knee was operated on 23 times and the left 27. The mean age of the patients at operation was 38.5 years with a range of 13 to 79 years. Patients were not included unless the loose body measured at least one centimetre in diameter in any direction ; the largest loose body was five centimetres in diameter. More than one loose body was present in 15 knees : there were two loose bodies in seven knees, three in five knees and four or more in three knees. Loose bodies were considered to be the only cause of symptoms in 34 knees, while other disorders contributed to symptoms in 16 knees. These included osteoarthritis (10 knees), ligamentous injury (four knees) and meniscal lesions (two knees). In 36 patients, the loose body was freely mobile within the knee, but in 1 1 patients some soft tissue attachment to the articular surface or synovium was retained. In four patients, a combination of attached and mobile loose bodies was present. In 38 knees, the loose body was diagnosed radiologically before arthroscopy but in 1 1 it was not visible on radiographs taken before operation and was first identified at arthroscopy. One patient with a loose body identified radiologically had a second loose body that was not detected on the radiograph. The sites of origin of the loose body could only be identified in 39 knees (Table I). Site of origin Number
