Fungal Infection Post Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair: A Rare Complication

Infections after arthroscopic procedures are rare. Infection due to fungal organisms is rarer and difficult to diagnose due to its insidious nature and chronic presentation but when neglected has devastating consequences. We present a 23-year-old immunocompetent adult post-arthroscopic meniscal repair with fungal surgical site infection. The patient underwent open debridement and was started on antifungals. His surgical wound healed and with physiotherapy he regained his full range of movement.
