Thermal injury resulting from arthroscopic lateral retinacular release by electrocautery: report of three cases and a review of the literature
Arthroscopy.

Abstract
This article reports three cases of full-thickness thermal burns of the skin in the 85 cases of arthroscopic lateral retinacular release we performed using electrocautery. To our knowledge, this complication has not previously been reported.
