- Abstract
Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is currently a common procedure. We report a case of ACL reconstruction using an autologous patellar tendon graft, where great infrapatellar heterotopic ossification occurred post-operatively. We found no similar cases in the literature. We discuss about the probable origin.
