- Abstract
After experiencing an unusually high incidence of knee sepsis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, we sought to (1) describe how we resolved this problem through temporary discontinuation of the procedure, formation of a multidisciplinary ACL Task Force, systematic investigation of clinical data and institutional care practices, and development and implementation of an evidence-based ACL Clinical Pathway (the Pathway); and (2) report our findings and results.
