Abstract

The pretibial cyst is a very rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It occurs whatever kind of graft choice or kind of graft fixation method at tibial side. It have been known such as graft necrosis at tibial side, extra-articular leakage of joint fluid through tibial tunnel, foreign body reaction due to breakdown of the bioabsorbable screw and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel as the cause of pretibial cyst. We experienced one case of pretibial cyst which had undergone ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft fixed with biodegradable interference screw. We report a rare case of pretibial cyst with literature review.
