Abstract
An arthroscope was used to diagnose and treat an intraarticular penetration of a cactus thorn in a pediatric knee joint. A review of previous articles describing plant thorn synovitis is given. Recent literature indicates that this is the first time an arthroscope has proven to be effective in the diagnosis and treatment of monoarthritis due to an intraarticular penetration by a plant thorn.
