To discuss complications following ACL reconstruction, specifically an MRSA infection and fixation failure.
A 33-year-old female underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon graft and meniscus partial resection.
Post-surgery, the patient suspected an infection and underwent cleaning, debridement, and arthroscopic washout.
Cultures identified MRSA, and the patient was treated with four antibiotics over several weeks.
MRSA was detected in the wound culture and knee joint tissue.
Despite successful initial treatment, MRSA reemerged 11 months post-surgery, linked to a dislodged tibial fixation device.
Further surgery was performed to remove the fixation device, which showed intact graft tension and covering.
