“…Out of 60 patients, 68.4% were ranked as good or excellent. In the literature, the postoperative Lysholm score in the cyclops syndrome ranges between 91.5 and 94.1 points [11,33], while in other surgical procedures used for the elimination of knee adhesions, only 82 points [12]. In our earlier papers [35][36][37][38], this value ranged between 93 and 97 points, which indicated that cyclops lesion is a complication that significantly compromises the average results of ACL reconstruction.…”

“…Cyclops lesion can be prevented by adequate removal of all ruptured ligament fibers, positioning the bone tunnels in bones, avoiding fiber damage [11,12] and early rehabilitation, which aims to achieve full extension and flexion of at least 90 degrees during the first postoperative month [9,10]. If the lesion causes pain and movement restriction, predominantly in knee extension, arthroscopic knee debridement is necessary [6,7,11,12].…”

“…Considering the fact that ACL injuries and cyclops syndrome are most common among young physically active athletes, it is very important to examine all aspects of the injury: causes, mechanisms, risk factors, treatment and rehabilitation [9,10]. Successful arthroscopic reconstruction, postoperative follow-up and aggressive rehabilitation significantly reduce the duration of treatment, rehabilitation, costs of treatment, and provide faster return of patients to daily and work activities [6,7,11,12].…”

Introduction. Cyclops syndrome is one of the causes of failure of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The aim of the study was to examine the quality of life of patients who had this complication and its consequences till the return to unrestricted (sports) activities. Material and Methods. During an eighteen-year follow-up of 4330 patients, cyclops syndrome was found in 71 patients (1.64%). This study included 60 of them, who agreed to fill out a questionnaire and functional scoring scales. Results and Discussion. The mean Tegner score was 5.95 and Lysholm score was 86.13 points. After the arthroscopic removal of cyclops lesion, excellent results were found in 22 patients (36.7%), good in 19 (31.7%), poor in 16 (26.7%) and very poor in three cases (5%). On average, athletes lose 10 months from injury to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. It takes at least 6 months to return to competitive sports. If cyclops lesion occurs, it takes approximately 10 months to arthroscopy, and on average 3 months of postoperative recovery. Conclusion. Cyclops lesion is a complication that significantly compromises the outcome of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, in terms of functional scores, subjective symptoms, the intensity of sports activities, and quality of life. Arthroscopic removal of the cyclops lesion leads to satisfactory postoperative results, but athletes lose 2.5 years on the whole, from injury to return to unrestricted sports activities.
