✅ Fixation Site Complications

• Bone Plug Issues: Fractures, dislocations of bone plugs, and bone reabsorption around these plugs.
• Types of Devices: Utilization of bioabsorbable or metallic screws, crosspins, and endobuttons.
• Bone Fractures: Occurrences of fractures in the femur or tibia during graft placement.

• Potential Issues: These devices can loosen, fragment, or become displaced, which may lead to complications and, ultimately, graft failure.

 

✅ Interference Screw Complications

• Fractures of interference screws and their migration within the site.
• Interference screws can migrate inside the joint, potentially damaging the articular cartilage.
