title: [Septic knee arthritis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in an adolescent athlete].
abstract: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a very frequent procedure. Postoperative infection after this procedure is a catastrophic, although infrequent, complication. According to the literature, it occurs in less than 1% of all reconstructions done in the United States. We present herein a case report of septic arthritis of the posterior knee associated with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
