title: [Joint reconstruction as a cause of limited knee joint extension after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a bone-tendon-bone autograft].
abstract: The authors report on a group of 3 patients who have developed restricted knee extension following acl reconstruction using central one-third of the patellar tendon as an autogenous graft. A fibrous nodule, varying in size from 15 to 20 mm, occupying the intercondylar notch and presenting mechanical block to full extension was found at arthroscopy. Removal of the nodule resulted in improved extension to about minus 3 degrees after surgery and 0 degrees at 6 weeks follow-up. No complications occurred. Histologically, the nodule consisted of focally hyalinized fibrous tissue.
