Artritis sépticas agudas secundarias a reparación artroscópica de ligamento cruzado anterior de la rodilla. A propósito de 2 casos

Postoperative complications of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction after ambulatory surgery

“…Acute infection is an infrequent, albeit feared complication. We agree with Parrón et al 9 who proposed that early arthroscopic lavage and debridement along with specific antibiotic treatment represent the basis of the initial treatment of acute infections following repair of the ACL, so that recurrence can be prevented in the majority of cases and the plasty can be maintained with a good final result. In our experience, we have only diagnosed 1 patient (0.3%), who could be treated through arthroscopic debridement, preserving the plasty and achieving a satisfactory resolution of the infection, and who is currently clinically free of infection and with good functionality.…”

“…2 Since there is insufficient evidence in the literature about its safety in terms of performing it by OSP or with hospital admission, this work has attempted to study the complications of patients intervened at our department. The most common complications following ACL ligamentoplasty recorded in the recent literature 2,8 include readmission (1.36---2.3%), complications of the surgical wound (0.75%), DVT (0.44%), septic arthritis (0.14---1.7%), 9 and reintervention (0.25%), although no data relating to emergency reevaluations were obtained.…”
