Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

Although medical complications are rare following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, their impact can be significant. The two most common medical complications are postoperative infection or sepsis and thrombolic events such as deep venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism. The incidence of, risk factors for, and clinical course of these complications following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are detailed in this chapter to guide diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
