A 70-year-old male underwent elective total knee replacement for osteoarthritis. At initial review six weeks after surgery the prosthesis was functioning well and he was asymptomatic. He reattended clinic four months postoperatively having developed worsening pain on the lateral aspect of the knee but without any loss of function or stiffness of the joint. He subsequently underwent arthroscopy where synovial folds in the lateral gutter were debrided and entirely alleviated his symptoms. This is an unusual cause of pain following total knee replacement which has not been previously reported.
一名70岁男性因骨关节炎接受了择期全膝关节置换术。术后六周的初次复查时，假体功能良好，他没有症状。术后四个月他再次到诊所就诊，出现膝关节外侧疼痛加重，但关节功能无丧失或僵硬。随后他接受了关节镜检查，清理了外侧沟的滑膜皱襞，症状完全缓解。这是全膝关节置换术后疼痛的一种罕见原因，此前尚未有报道。
