Abstract

All inside ACL reconstruction is a refashioned technique which offers the advantage of being less invasive, more bone stock and tendon preservation. The advent of retractable retrocutting devices like Flipcutter ® has made the technique simple and reliable with reproducible results. However complications with this new technique and instruments are yet to unravel. We present two cases where Flipcutter ® broke inside the joint during the procedure. We report this infrequent complication and discuss the possible events leading to breakage, further management and technical tips to avoid this misadventure.
