Complications after arthroscopic knee surgery

Abstract: Arthroscopic knee surgeries are considered to be minimally invasive, and are conducted relatively safe with low complication rates. In this series, however, seven cases of complications occurred, including two cases (0.08 %) of septic arthritis. Furthermore, symptomatic thromboembolism has been reported to occur also in arthroscopic surgery. The risk of severe complications has to be acknowledged.

“…Arthroscopic knee surgery is minimally invasive and safe with low complication incidences (0.27-4.7% [5][6][7]). Infections of any kind are rarely reported yet the nerve-wracking complication of this surgery (0.84% [5]), especially with the fungal infection did occur. Overall incidence of fungal arthritis is relatively low due to non-albicans Candida species which is less than 1% of all arthritis cases but has increased in recent years due to the increasing application of corticosteroid, overuse of antibiotics, aging, and diabetes [8], although Candida albicans is still the most widespread isolated species and is the main pathogen of fungal knee arthritis [9].…”

“…Similarly, orthopedic surgeons often perform procedures in outpatient procedure rooms and their offices, including carpal tunnel release and trigger finger release. Surgical site infections in any procedure in which bone is exposed (eg, orthopedic, podiatric procedures) is reportedly infrequent, but can be catastrophic when it occurs 14,15 …”

“…Ao estabelecermos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão desta pesquisa, pretendemos nos ater aos pacientes da faixa etária acima de 50 anos portadores de lesão degenerativa do menisco medial, sem sinais radiográficos evidentes de OA do joelho, uma vez que o conhecimento de que esta condição leva a piores resultados cirúrgicos já está bem estabelecido pela literatura (18,23,41) . A todos os pacientes foi oferecida a oportunidade de tentar inicialmente um tratamento não cirúrgico, envolvendo medicação (analgésicos e antiinflamatórios), fisioterapia (analgésica e motora) e redução das atividades físicas ou retirada da carga do membro comprometido, dependendo do grau O índice geral de complicações da meniscectomia artroscópica reportado na literatura recente varia entre 0,27% e 2,8% (113,114) . Nesta pesquisa, não foi observada nenhuma complicação cirúrgica ou anestésica grave; houve apenas um caso de infecção superficial do portal da artroscopia, que evoluiu bem, sem deixar sequelas.…”
