The most frequent complications are neurological (cutaneous nerve injuries), which are usually caused by direct injury during arthroscopic portals or by a distracting pin when using an invasive distraction technique. They usually resolve spontaneously within a few months. The iatrogenic formation of a pseudoaneurysm is a severe but extremely rare complication (an incidence of 0.008%).

Other rare complications include wound infections (localised superficial infection), problems at the portal incisions (prolonged portal drainage, residual pain in the portal, portal scar dehiscence, cyst at the portal site), type I complex regional pain syndrome, instrument breakage, painful scars and nodules, and a number of other rarer complications.
