Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have ACL surgery, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Instability of the knee (rupture or stretching of the new ligament)
- Reconstructed ACL does not work properly
- Kneecap pain after surgery
- Stiffness in the knee
- Loss of full range of motion
- Numbness
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Blood clot formation
- Reaction to anesthesia
Discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Pain cannot be controlled with medicines given
- Numbness in the knee area
- Nausea or vomiting
- Trouble urinating
- Inability to eat or drink
- Any other concerns
