Detached femoral bone plug following anterior cruciate ligament repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 16-year-old woman who experienced failure of her bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) reconstruction of her left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) due to detachment of the femoral bone plug from the endobutton. We have only found one prior report of this unusual complication. This case is also notable in that evidence of this complication is visible radiographically. Most postoperative complications of ACL reconstruction can be visualized only with the assistance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

This study describes an accurate method of calculating the id...
