Abstract
Osteomyelitis following arthroscopic assisted anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has not been reported in literature. We describe an aggressive progression of septic arthritis and osteomyelitis leading to the complete destruction of the condylar region in a young non-immunosuppressed patient after reconstruction of the ACL. In addition we discuss the steps in diagnostics and our salvage procedures.Entities:
