چکیده

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common ligament injuries involving the knee, especially in the young, athletic population. Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and semitendinous gracilis autografts are some of the procedures used for ACL reconstruction. However, these procedures are associated with significant problems, including quadriceps weakness, patellofemoral pain, and patellar fracture, among others [1]. Allograft ACL reconstruction is an attractive procedure, given the lack of donor-site problems, and more predictable graft sizes [1]. However, it has its own disadvantages. Although uncommon, one of these disadvantages is the potential transmission of infections [2]. Fungi are a rare cause of ACL allograft infection [3]. Here, we present a case of Candida glabrata osteomyelitis after ACL allograft repair with a BPTB graft.
