Recurrent surgical site infection after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A case report.

CONCLUSION: Prompt and accurate diagnosis of surgical site infection following ACL reconstruction, including the exclusion of intra-articular involvement, is important for timely and appropriate treatment. Arthroscopic debridement and removal of implant with graft preservation, together with a course of antibiotics, is a suitable treatment option for extra-articular knee infections following ACL reconstruction.
