Knee arthroscopy fluid can cause joint capsule rupture, especially with knee flexion. Surgeons should consider posterior capsule rupture if a joint mouse is lost during the procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Knee Arthroscopy
  • Joint Biomechanics

Background:

  • Knee arthroscopy requires significant fluid distension for visualization.
  • Cadaver studies suggest knee flexion during arthroscopy may compromise joint capsule integrity.

Observation:

  • A rare case of posterior capsule rupture during knee arthroscopy is presented.
  • A "joint mouse" (loose body) was extruded from the joint following the rupture.

Findings:

  • Knee flexion during arthroscopy can lead to joint capsule rupture.
  • Extrusion of intra-articular structures like joint mice can occur through capsule defects.

Implications:

  • This complication should be considered in knee arthroscopy, particularly if intra-articular objects are not visualized.
