Arthrofibrosis After ACL Reconstruction

1️⃣ Focal Form: Cyclops Lesion

✅ Patients with arthrofibrosis following ACL reconstruction may present with stiffness or restricted extension, a symptom profile similar to that observed in cases of graft impingement.

✅ MRI findings

  • It is characterized by a nodule of low signal intensity located just anterior to the distal end of the graft, between the femur and tibia.
  • Because of its fibrous content, a cyclops lesion typically has intermediate to low signal intensity with all pulse sequences. 
  • Lesion signal is usually heterogeneous and there is variable contrast enhancement.
  • There are no differentiating features on MRI between symptomatic and asymptomatic lesions.

 

2️⃣ Diffuse Form

✅MRI findings

  • The diffuse form is identifiable by an ill-defined, spiculated area of low signal within the Hoffa fat pad or a mass-like area of decreased signal anterior and posterior to the graft.
  • This condition can extend to the joint capsule, potentially resulting in synovial hypertrophy and capsular thickening.
