M Zappia et al. Musculoskelet Surg. 2017 Mar.

Abstract

More than two million people tear their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) each year, and ACL reconstruction occupies a significant proportion of everyday orthopedic practice, being one of the most commonly performed sports medicine surgical procedures. Patients with postoperative symptoms are frequently imaged to monitor ligament grafts and to identify complications. Given the number of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction, knowledge of the potential complications of this surgery is essential for radiologists. This article provides a review of imaging of ACL reconstruction procedures and the potential complications specific to this surgery.

Keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament; MRI; Reconstruction; Sport injury.
