ABSTRACT
Breakage of the femoral cross-pin with impending rupture of the popliteal vessels is a rare complication for femoral tunneling in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The authors experienced a case of impending rupture of the popliteal vessels following breakage of the cross-pin 16 days after primary ACL reconstruction. Impending rupture of the popliteal vessels was detected with ultrasonography following breakage of the cross-pins which caused popliteal discomfort and irritation. After removal of the broken cross-pins, previous ACL graft and interference screw with subsequent re-reconstruction of the ACL using a new allograft and interference screw, the patient showed satisfactory results and resolution of symptoms. Therefore we report on this case with a review of literature.
