Cyclops lesion.
Postoperative impingement of the knee following ACL reconstruction does occur. MRI can be useful in the diagnosis of the patient who is not recovering as quickly as expected following surgical reconstruction. MRI allows the assessment of 1) tunnel position and alignment, 2) graft integrity, 3) the menisci for possible re-tear or extension of previous tears, and 4) joint for scar tissue and cartilaginous bodies either loose or fixed.
