Figure 2

Intraoperative arthroscopic view. (a, b) Arthroscopic view of the anterolateral portal before excision of the prefemoral fat pad. The fat pad resembled normal adipose tissue, and there were no characteristics of lipoma such as round/oval masses, fibrous capsules, or vascular pedicles. Mild laxity was observed.
