Table 2.
Complication profiles are compared for the open/arthroscopic, all-arthroscopic, and open posterior/open anterior cohorts*
| Complication | Open/arthroscopic | Arthroscopic | Open/open | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hemarthrosis | X | Operative drainage | ||
| Hemarthrosis | X | Operative drainage | ||
| Hemarthrosis | X | Resolved with aspiration | ||
| Deep vein thrombosis | X | Therapeutic anticoagulation | ||
| Arthrofibrosis | X | Required manipulation under anesthesia; persistent flexion contracture | ||
| Wound dehiscence | X | Resolved with dressing changes |
* There were no differences among the three groups with regard to any individual complication nor was there a difference among the three groups with regard to the presence or absence of any complication (p = 0.79).
