Pretibial Cyst after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Non-bioabsorbable Interference Screw

Abstract

Pretibial cyst formation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a rare late complication. Exact etiology is not known, but it is commonly reported with use of bioabsorbable screw for fixation. Here we report a very rare case of pretibial cyst after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction even with use of non-bioabsorbable screw for fixation.
