N2  - Persistent discharge and bleeding from arthroscopy portals are rare complications. We report three cases which occurred as a result of deliberate self-harm. To our knowledge the occurrence of self-inflicted injury following arthroscopy has not been reported. Although suspicion of such activity may be delayed we consider it important to be aware of the possibility of this behaviour and to seek specialist help early in order to reduce the likelihood of further permanent physical damage.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
