Abstract

Objective: To highlight a case of an athlete with a symptomatic pretibial cyst 4-years post-ACL reconstruction surgery.

Case presentation: A 23-year-old female soccer athlete presented with right-sided knee pain, locking and catching, and diminished sensation along the anteroinferior knee. She had a history of an ipsilateral ACL hamstring autograft four years prior. Physical evaluation revealed a visible and palpable swelling medial to the patellar tendon, limited and painful range, and hypoesthesia within the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. MRI revealed a tubular ganglion cyst along the anterior aspect of the tibial tunnel, medial to the patellar tendon, and anterior to the ACL graft.

Summary: Post-surgical ganglion cyst formation in the reconstructed ACL is a rare complication that can present years following ACL surgery. This case aims to bring awareness to this condition as a potential long-term complication in the ACL-reconstructed athlete.

前交叉韧带腘绳肌腱自体移植物重建4年后出现症状性胫骨隧道神经节囊肿:前交叉韧带手术罕见并发症1例报告。

目的:报告一名运动员在acl重建手术4年后出现症状性胫骨前囊肿的病例。病例介绍:一名23岁的女足球运动员，表现为右侧膝关节疼痛，锁定和抓握，以及沿膝关节前下端感觉减弱。她四年前曾做过同侧前交叉韧带自体移植物。体格检查显示髌腱内侧可见和可触及的肿胀，范围有限和疼痛，以及髌下隐神经分支的感觉减退。MRI显示一个管状神经节囊肿沿胫骨隧道前部、髌腱内侧和前交叉韧带移植物。摘要:重建前交叉韧带术后神经节囊肿形成是一种罕见的并发症，可在前交叉韧带手术后数年出现。本病例旨在使人们认识到这种情况是acl重建运动员潜在的长期并发症。
