Few cases have been reported in which the femoral interference screw has migrated into the posterior compartment after an ACL reconstruction. It usually requires removal, because it leads usually to mechanical symptom. However, the arthroscopic removal of a screw is a technically demanding procedure, especially in the case of an intact integrated ACL graft or one that is encapsulated around the screw. We present a case in which a displaced femoral interference screw migrated within the posterior compartment 11 years postoperatively, after the graft had been successfully incorporated at the femoral site and showed good continuity on MRI and arthroscopic examination. Although it is often technically challenging, through the use of a posterior trans-septal portal, we can successfully remove a displaced femoral interference screw even in the most difficult locations in the posterior compartment without damage to ACL graft.

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament tears is increasing as a result of the increasing participation of individuals of all ages in high-risk sports. Endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autogenous central third bone-patellar tendon-bone graft is the most commonly used method. With regard to BPTB graft as the go]d standard in ACL reconstruction, there are no data that refute this claim to date. Author reviewed the biomechanical properties, donor site morbidity and selection of the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and described the surgical technique of endoscopic ACL reconstruction using BPTB autograft.

목적: 자가 골-슬개건-골과 슬괵건을 이용한 전방 십자 인대 재건술의 5년 중기 추시 결과를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 전방 십자 인대 재건술을 시행한 후 5년 이상 추시 관찰이 가능한 65예를 대상으로 하였고, 골-슬개건-골이 38예, 슬괵건이 27예였다. 술 후 평가는 Lysholm 점수, 관절 운동 범위, 대퇴부 중간 부위 둘레 길이, Lachman 검사, 축 이동 검사, KT 2000 관절 계측기를 시행하였고, 술 후 합병증을 평가하였다. 결과: Lysholm 점수는 골-슬개건-골군과 슬괵건국에서 각각 평균 91점, 94.2점으로 슬괵건군이 우수하였고, 대퇴부 중간 부위 둘레 길이는 건측에 비해 각각 평균 1.7cm, 1.3cm의 차이를 보였다. 양 군간에 관절 운동 범위, Lachman 검사, 축 이동 검사 및 KT 2000 관절 계측 결과는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 술 후 합병증은 과도한 보행이나 운동 후 슬관절 동통이 골-슬개건-골군에서 7예, 슬괵건 군에서 4예 관찰되었고, 전방 슬관절 동통이 골-슬개건-골군에서 4예 관찰되어, 골-슬개건-골군에서 더 많이 발생하였다. 결론: 5년 중기 추시에서 자가 슬괵건군이 우수한 슬관절 기능, 적은 합병증 등 임상적으로 우수하였으나 장기 추시가 요할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose : The purpose was to evaluate the early result of revision of failed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Materials and Methods : From August 1997 to February 2002, this report presents the findings of 18 patients who had revision surgery for failed ACL reconstruction. There was an average of 39 $(7\~120)$months from index procedure to the time of revision. Allografts were used in 14 $(78\%)$cases and autografts were used in 4 $(22\%)$cases and the revision procedures were assisted by arthroscopic technique. The majority of chief complaints were instability in 16 $(89\%)$cases. Sixteen $(89\%)$ cases had 1 previous reconstruction, 2 $(11\%)$ cases had 2. Before and after revision, patients were evaluated by Lachman test, pivot shift test, KT 2000, radiographs, Lysholm score and HSS score and subjective satisfaction. Results : Average length of followup was 27 $(12\~60)$months. Preoperatively, all cases were positive in Lachman test and pivot shift test. After revision the majority of cases were negative. Objectively improving stability was confirmed by KT 2000 and all average KT 2000 was 7.75 $(3.5\~12.5)$mm preoperatively and 2.36 $(1.0\~6.0)$mm at final followup. Lysholm score and HSS score were also improved from 72.6 $(66\~77)$ and 72.5 $(68\~78)$ preoperatively to 89.2 $(80\~92)$ and 88.2 $(81\~92)$ at final followup. Most $(89\%)$ of patients were satisfied with their results. The most common causes of failed ACL reconstruction were malposition of femoral tunnel in 11 $(61\%)$cases. Conclusion : Arthroscopic revision ACL surgery with adequate graft for failed ACL reconstruction was successful in objectively and subjectively improving stability. However, considering the most common causes of failure after ACL reconstruction were errors in surgical technique, it is important that the primary ACL reconstruction should be performed with correct surgical technique.

Purpose: We evaluated the clinical results of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using quadrupled hamstring tendon with tibial remnant-preserving technique. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five cases were evaluated from Feb, 2003 to May, 2006. The average interval from injury to surgery was $2.6{\pm}1.6$ months. The cause of injury was mostly sports-related trauma. The average follow-up period was 17 months. Tibial remnant was preserved as much as possible and caution was taken not to damage the remnant during ACL reconstruction. Postoperative rehabilitation was the same as the usual rehabilitation method after ACL reconstruction, except for delaying motion for 2 weeks with an extension locking brace. Clinical evaluation was performed using ROM; Lachman test; pivot-shift test; anterior displacement measurement using KT-2000 arthrometer; Lysholm score and proprioception measured by single limb standing test. Results: There was no limitation of knee motion without contracture. The Lachman test and pivot-shift test were both negative. The side-to-side difference of anterior displacement measured using KT-2000 arthrometer was improved from 6.7 mm to 2.2 mm. The average Lysholm score improved from 81 to 96. The single limb standing test for proprioceptive evaluation showed no significant difference from a normal leg. Conclusion: ACL reconstruction with tibial remnant-preserving technique can preserve mechanoreceptors with prorioception and expect good functional recovery.

An inappropriate insertion of a interference device to fix the graft in the tibial tuunel can cause potential complications. We describe a case of 27-year-old man who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using IntraFix device(DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA). In this report we present a case of migration of IntraFix sheath by inappropriate insertion of IntraFix screw along with a review of the current literature.

Pretibial ganglion cyst after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a very rare complication, and a few are reported in and outside the country. Some authors report that it may break out with a variety of causes at any time. We experienced a case of pretibial ganglion cyst after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft and bioabsorbable interference screw in 34-year-old male. So we report this case including the cause and the treatment with a review of the literature.

자가 중간 1/3 슬개건골을 이용한 관절경적 전방 십자 인대 재건술은 슬관절의 안정성 회복 및 임상적 결과가 비교적 만족 할만 하나 슬개-대퇴간 동통 공여부 감각 소실 또는 저하 등의 슬개골 주위 합병증이 발생하므로 이러한 문제점을 가능한 줄이고 기능적 회복을 도모하는데 이식건 채취 방법에 있어서 분리된 절개를 이용하고 속이 빈 원형의 톱날 기구(Hollowsaw)를 사용함으로써 결과의 향상을 기대 할 수 있을 것으로 사료되나 추후 보다 면밀하고 장기적인 추시 관찰이 됫받침 되어야 할 것이다
