Painful pretibial pseudocyst at bioabsorbable interference screw aperture two years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
We report the case of a patient with a painful subcutaneous nodule, measuring 13 mm × 17 mm, at the pretibial graft aperture site, which presented two years after a successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with an autologous hamstring graft. A bioabsorbable poly-L-lactide interference screw was used for graft fixation at the tibial aperture. The patient underwent surgical excision o...
متن کاملMetallic or bioabsorbable interference screw for graft fixation in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction?
BACKGROUND Approximately 100,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are performed in the USA each year. Interference screw fixation is considered the standard for rigid fixation of the graft and provides higher fixation strength compared with other devices such as staples or buttons. The present study summarizes the latest evidence comparing the effectiveness of the available clas...
متن کاملBroken Bioabsorbable Tibial Interference Screw after Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction using a Semitendinosus-gracilis Graft: A Case Report.
ABSTRACT When a patient presents with knee pain and locking after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, a new meniscal injury or an osteochondral loose body are usually considered for differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 22-year-old female with just these complaints 6 months after ACL reconstruction surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee showed a broken ...
متن کاملInterference Screw Cruciate Divergence in Endoscopic Anterior Ligament Reconstruction
Interference screws are commonly used for graft fixation in bonetendon-bone patellar tendon anterior cmciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The clinical significance of graft screw divergence has not been well studied. This report retrospectively reviews our initial experience in 73 consecutive endoscopic (single-incision) ACL reconstructions using interference screw fixation. Femoral divergenc...
متن کاملA comparison of functional outcome between bioabsorbable interference screw and endobutton fixation on femur in arthroscopic anterior cruciate Ligament reconstruction
Introduction: Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament [ACL] reconstruction is very commonly done procedure in recent times {1}. The graft fixation methods vary from aperture fixation [Interference screws] to suspensory fixation methods [Endobutton]. This is a Prospective non randomised clinical study of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction comparing the functional results between aperture fixation a...
