Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pretibial cyst formation is a rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and there are only few cases reported. Pretibial cyst can be caused by variable reasons. Foreign body reaction due to breakdown of bio-absorbable screw for fixation, graft necrosis at tibial site, joint fluid leakage to tunnel and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel. The authors experienced one case of massive pretibial cyst after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using bio-absorbable interference screw in 38-year-old male patient. Thus, authors report this rare case with literature view.
