Abstract
Arthroscopic surgery of the knee is considered to be a safe procedure. We had a microbiologically confirmed infection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Although various rare infective cases are reported following arthroscopy of the knee joint, to the best of our knowledge there is no previous report of MRSA infection following arthroscopy of the knee joint.
