Prevention:
• Patient selection: phenotype, BMI• Environment, surgical technique, experience• Timing of surgery, duration of operation• Antibiotic prophylaxis• Type of graft, sterilization method, instrument• Fixation materials, Bio absorbable or metallic
![Page 3: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Risk factors
• Previous surgery• Revision ACL surgery• Presence of metal-works• Simultaneous procedures: PCL rec. osteotomy• Type of graft, sterilization method, instrument• Implants used• Synthetic ligaments

Purpose of study:
• Review their cases & other reports to identify• Risk factors• Evaluate physical & lab. Findings• Compare different treatments &• Assess clinical outcomes
![Page 14: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Results :
• Retrospective study 1994- 2002• 11 infections in 1615 pts.• Hamstring autograft, previous knee surgery• & Acl reconstructions• Tibial Acl graft fixation with a post & washer• Associated with increased infection
![Page 15: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The goals of treatment are
• To protect the articular cartilage• To protect the graft• Timely initiation of treatment including• Joint lavage, debridement & antibiotics• Are essential to treatment• Graft & hardware retention is possible• Expedient graft & hardware removal

• Diagnosis & treatment of septic arthritis• 1997-2007, 21pts. Out of 4068• The most common symptoms were:• Fever, swelling, severe pain, tenderness &• Restricted motion• ESR, CRP &Fibrinogen levels markedly elevated
![Page 18: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Septic arthritis after
• Coagulase-neg. Staph was the most common• Both conservative & 0perative treatment were
effective• Longer recovery time and IV antibiotic therapy
in the conservative group
![Page 19: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusion:
• Septic arthritis is rare but potentially devastating complication
• Correct diagnosis relies on: • Clinical evaluation, Lab tests• Synovial fluid analysis & bacterial culture• Early diagnosis & prompt treatment• Arthroscopic debridement & irrigation &• Retention of ACL graft when still functional

Autograft contamination during preparation for ACL reconstruction
Michael E Hantes, MD et al JBJS Am 2008
![Page 21: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Comments :
• BPB & Hamstring Autografts most commonly• Graft contamination during preparation• By surgical masks, gloves & instruments• Contamination of graft could be a risk factor• In septic arthritis ESR & CRP are elevated
![Page 22: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Aim of study:
• Chance of graft contamination• Association between contamination & infec.• Chance of contamination of BPB & Hamstring• Contamination & inflammatory blood markers• 30 pts. In each group• 3 specimens for culture• ESR & CRP checked preop. & 3, 7,20 days post
![Page 23: Infection After ACL Reconstruction H. Makhmalbaf MD Consultant Orth.& Knee Surgeon Mashhad University of Medical Sciences](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649ca25503460f94961d52/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Results:
• A high rate of contamination (12%)• Contamination rate was equal in two grafts• No association between contamination &
elevation of ESR, CRP• More positive cultures in 2nd & 3rd specimens• Slight elevation of ESR & CRP in all pts.• No association between graft cont. & infection
