Primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: perioperative considerations and complications

Vidushan Nadarajah et al. Phys Sportsmed. 2017 May.

Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most commonly studied orthopaedic injuries. Despite having an excellent prognosis, complications do occur. The timely recognition and management of complications is imperative to ensure the success of reconstruction. Avoiding such complications requires thorough preoperative planning, proficient technical skills to properly manage intraoperative complications, and an extensive knowledge of possible postoperative complications.

Keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament; complication; intraoperative; perioperative; postoperative; preoperative; reconstruction.
