Migration of a broken meniscal arrow: a case report and review of the literature.
Meniscal repair is a common procedure that can be performed by the inside-out, outside-in, and all-inside techniques. The all-inside technique using the meniscal arrow is increasingly popular. We report a case in which a broken segment of a meniscal arrow was found on exploration of a subcutaneous swelling around the knee three weeks following meniscal repair.
