"Arthroscrapes" are unintended iatrogenic articular cartilage injuries caused by the arthroscope or surgical instruments during arthroscopy. Even the most benign superficial injuries to articular cartilage, including temporary deformation, may result in chondrocyte death. We thus declare a call to action: arthroscopic and related surgeons must create techniques and instruments to diminish iatrogenesis imperfecta.

Purpose: Central venous catheterization is a commonly used procedure to gain access to the central circulation. Although ultrasound guidance decreases the complication rates, arterial puncture may still occur. Failure to recognize this early may lead to devastating complications such as thrombosis and embolic stroke.
