Authors
Abstract
A 48-year-old man presented with persistent right knee pain 15 years after an arthroscopic partial meniscectomy. Right knee radiography was remarkable for a retained scalpel blade in the knee joint. The retained scalpel blade was completely removed from the affected knee arthroscopically; however, the patient's knee pain did not improve with 6 weeks of physically therapy.
