Abstract
|
|
|
|
Several reports have described the increased perioperative risks as well as surgical techniques for performing various procedures in obese patients. However, few reports have addressed the effects of obesity on routine arthroscopic procedures known to be common and safe. Describing the case of a partial meniscectomy performed in a 17-year-old male with a body weight of 120 kg, we review literatures published to the present and provide technical problems and possible complications that can occur when performing routine knee arthroscopy in bariatric patients.
