Abstract
|
|
|
|
Shoulder arthroscopy is used to treat a range of injuries of the shoulder and has many benefits, but it is also associated with undesirable complications. Even so, as the benefits by far surpass the risk, shoulder arthroscopy remains a common practice in orthopedics today. Here, we describe a previously unreported, potentially fatal complication, pleural effusion, after a shoulder arthroscopy. We removed the pleural effusion by thoracentesis with the patient in a beach-chair position.
