Abstract:
The incidence of septic arthritis after knee arthroscopy surgery has rarely been reported in approximately 0.04% to 3.4%. Moreover, septic arthritis after arthroscopic meniscal repair is more rare. There have been some reported cases, but in Korea, it has not been reported thus far. Herein, we report two cases of septic arthritis after arthroscopic meniscal repair with review of literature.
