  • Title: Femoral fracture following knee ligament reconstruction surgery due to an unpredictable complication of bioabsorbable screw fixation: a case report and review of literature.
    Author: Konan S, Haddad FS.
    Journal: J Orthop Traumatol; 2010 Mar; 11(1):51-5. PubMed ID: 20016925.
    Abstract:
    We report an unusual case of femoral fracture from minimal trauma, due to the rapid disappearance of a bioabsorbable interference screw used for reconstruction of the posterolateral corner of the knee. The literature on bone tunnel fractures following knee ligament reconstruction surgery is also reviewed.
