- Abstract
Postoperative infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is an uncommon but serious complication. Although several treatments for intraarticular infection have been reported, no report has been recorded on the treatment of persistent extraarticular infections. The authors experienced reconstructed graft removal due to a refractory extraarticular infection on tibia. Early ACL reimplantation was performed using a temporary cement spacer containing antibiotics and a irradiated bone patellar tendon bone allograft.
