Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has become a relatively common orthopedic procedure as a result of a better understanding of ACL function and the natural history of the unstable knee in an athletic individual. There has also been an increased awareness of ACL injuries and their diagnosis by physicians and their patients, as well as improvements in reconstructive techniques. As increasing numbers of ACL reconstructions are performed, subsequent complications will also arise. This chapter discusses complications associated with allograft ACL reconstructions, their avoidance, and their treatment. Most of the complications of autograft ACL reconstruction (see Chapter 9) apply to allografts as well. This chapter focuses on complications arising specifically from the selection of allograft tissue for ACL reconstruction.
