Case: A 10-year-old boy presented with vague symptoms, a few days after a nondescript injury to his left knee. History, examination and blood tests, and imaging were unremarkable. Because of his severe pain, we proceeded to arthroscopy. On proceeding to arthroscopy, a wooden toothpick was found inside the knee joint. The wooden toothpick was removed arthroscopically.
Conclusion: The physicians/surgeons have to be vigilant and should approach holistically toward history and examination of a child presenting with vague signs and symptoms.
