ABSTRACT
CASE A 35-year-old man sustained a proximal tibia fracture from a low-energy mechanism 1 year after anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligament repairs with suture augmentation (SA). The fracture propagated through both tibial SA anchor sites. Following intramedullary tibial nailing, he returned to his prior level of function. CONCLUSION:
While complications of SA for ligamentous procedures are rare, these techniques are being implemented more frequently and the full complication profile is yet to be determined. Our report documents a new complication and potential risk factors that surgeons should consider when performing SA for multiligament knee surgery in active individuals.
