Abstract

ACL reconstruction is a reproducible procedure but complications may occur and are estimated between 1 and 5%. The most serious complications include infection (between 0.32 to 1.8%), thromboembolic disease (0.6%), and arthrofibrosis which may be related to early surgery in the acutely inflamed knee although exact pathomechanism and risk factors are not completely understood. Other complications include postoperative hemarthrosis, sensory loss related to lesions to branches of the Saphenous nerve, hamstrings and quadriceps mechanism weakness and dysfunction, patellar fracture when using bone plugs from the patella, hardware failure, tunnel widening, and graft rupture. This chapter will review each of these complications and also provide measures for correct diagnosis and management.
