Abstract

Recurrent haemarthroses stimulate the hypertrophy of synovial tissues that if left in situ will eventually cause joint destruction. Synovectomies have been the cornerstone of joint preservation and a number of different methods exist. We report two patients who suffered complications after an arthroscopic procedure. No previous complications of this nature have been reported in the literature.
