We describe a healthy 59-year-old woman who sustained a third-degree burn from a grounding pad during shoulder arthroscopy. We wish to make surgeons aware of a rare complication associated with any arthroscopic procedure in which an electrocautery/grounding pad system is used. We detail the presentation, evaluation, treatment, and definitive care and review the possible causes of this complication and the mechanism by which an electrocautery/grounding pad system functions. Although this complication is not uncommon, we believe that this is the first case report describing a burn at the grounding pad site occurring during arthroscopy.
我们描述了一名59岁的健康女性，她在肩关节镜检查期间因接地垫而遭受三度烧伤。我们希望让外科医生了解与任何使用电灼/接地垫系统的关节镜手术相关的一种罕见并发症。我们详细介绍了该病例的表现、评估、治疗和最终处理，并回顾了这种并发症的可能原因以及电灼/接地垫系统的工作机制。尽管这种并发症并不罕见，但我们认为这是第一例描述关节镜检查期间接地垫部位发生烧伤的病例报告。
