Factors Leading to
ACL Reconstruction Failures

Researchers writing in the Chinese Journal of Surgery say "There are many reasons leading to failure of ACL reconstruction. Nevertheless, malposition of the bone tunnel, invalid fixation, rejection to allograft and other complications such as the enlargement of the bone tunnel, postoperative infection and adhesion are the major factors that predispose the primary construction to failure."

Ao YF, Ma Y, Cui GQ, Yu JK. [Factors leading to failure of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction] Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi. 2007 Jan 15;45(2):86-9.

CONCLUSIONS: There are many reasons leading to failure of ACL reconstruction. Nevertheless, malposition of the bone tunnel, invalid fixation, rejection to allograft and other complications such as the enlargement of the bone tunnel, postoperative infection and adhesion are the major factors that predispose the primary construction to failure.
