femoral condyle fracture during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Authors
abstract
dear editor,we have greatly enjoyed reading the case report entitled “‘femoral condyle fracture during revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: case report and a review of literature in the issue of arch bone jt surg. 2015;3(2) with great interest. we would like to commend the authors for their detailed and valuable work. although various case reports have described postoperative distal femur fracture at a range of time intervals (1,2) intraoperative intra-articular distal femur fracture is a unique entity.however, we believe that some important additional observations seem necessary to be contributed through this study. in this article, the authors stated that, to the best of their knowledge, there is no other case report in the literature introducing a femoral condyle fracture during arthroscopic acl reconstruction or revision reconstruction. nevertheless, we would like to call the attention of the readers to the fact that that the literature contains one additional case report re porting on intraoperative distal femoral coronal plane (hoffa) fracture during primary acl reconstruction (2). werner bc and miller md presented of case report of an intraoperative distal femoral coronal plane (hoffa) fracture that occurred during independent femoral tunnel drilling and dilation in a primary acl reconstruction. as in the their case, this type of fracture can occur with appropriately placed femoral tunnels, but the risk can increase with larger graft diameters in patients with smaller lateral femoral condyles the patient was treated with open reduction and internal fixation, without compromise of graft stability and with good recovery of function. we believe that tailoring graft size to the size of the patient is important to prevent similar adverse events.

A rare and devastating complication following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) revision reconstruction is femoral fracture. A 35-year old male soccer player with a history of ACL tear from one year ago, who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and functioned well until another similar injury caused ACL re-rupture.

The present review classifies and describes the multifactorial causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery failure, concentrating on preventing and resolving such situations. The article particularly focuses on those causes that require ACL revision due to recurrent instability, without neglecting those that affect function or produce persistent pain. Although primary ACL reconstructio...
