The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is injured most during sports activity, which has to be reconstructed to regain painless, functional, and stable knee. Tibial plateau fractures after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are being increasingly reported in the literature. Revision ACLR may be required after fracture union due to possible disruption of the previous reconstruction. Here is the case of operated bicondylar tibial plateau fracture with the excellent outcome at 2-year follow-up with a previous history of ACLR 5 years back with abutting of the tibial-sided biodegradable screw to the knee joint in a recreational soccer player. This case report of a 46-year-old male patient hereby describes the management of the fracture and possible factors responsible for bioscrew migration. |
