Saphenous nerve injury. An unusual arthroscopic complication. 1991

Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio.

The surgeon should use strict technical vigilance to prevent intraoperative arthroscopic complications. An expert understanding of the anatomy, along with visualization of all instruments during surgery, should prevent inadvertent injury to neighboring structures. This case report represents one unusual complication associated with arthroscopic knee surgery and should serve to heighten the surgeon's awareness that arthroscopy is not a benign procedure.
