Abstract
|
|
|
This is a report of the complication in three cases caused by the use of an automated arthroscopy pump in 176 patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.
The first patient had extravasation of fluid into the thigh, requiring careful observation of the procedure.
The second patient developed a peroneal and sural nerve palsy.
The third patient developed severe fluid extravasation into the lower leg compartments.
During 9-month period, a complication rate of 1.7% from fluid extravasation during knee arthroscopy was noted.
Each patient had healthy recovery.
This review represents our experience with the infusion pump.
The use of an infusion pump should be avoided if capsular tears are suspected.
