Late tibial interference screw extrusion following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A case report
Abstract
Interference screws are used as back-up fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. Historically these were composed of metal, but recently surgeons have switched to using bioabsorbable screws as they cause less symptoms and are biomedically advantageous. Usually these screws are absorbed by the body within one to two years after surgery.
