Septic Lyme Arthritis after Recent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is estimated that in the United States, there are approximately 100,000 primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions performed yearly. Despite a success rate of 92-98%, ACL reconstruction is not without potential complications, including post-operative infection [1]. Reports of septic arthritis after ACL reconstruction are rare in the literature; with infection rates ranging from 0.14% to 0.48% in the literature. [1-5]. The consequences of septic arthritis can be disastrous leading to arthrofibrosis, chondral damage, arthrosis, and chronic osteomyelitis [1].
