Possible infection: The complication rates for arthroscopic meniscectomy range from 0.5% to 1.7%. Complications of this procedure may include nerve or blood vessel damage, bleeding, infection, stiffening of the knee joint. If you don’t have infection the other stuff will calm down, brace and medication usually will take of it.
