Abstract

Objective To summarize complications of knee arthroscopic surgery and the prevention and treatment for the complications.Methods A retrospective study on complications in 200 cases of knee arthroscopy between May 2000 and May 2007 was made.Results The incidence of complications was 8.50%(17/200).Major complications occurred in 13 cases,including 3 cases of articular cartilage injury,2 cases of adhesion,4 cases of articular hematoma and 4 cases of articular dropsy.And some minor complications happened in 4 cases,including 2 cases of disruption and exudation of wound and 2 cases of irrigation leakage.Conclusion The incidence of complications of knee arthroscopy is relatively low.Most of them are mild and curable,if prompt treatment is given.
