The surgeon should explain the specific complications he or she encountered (removal of graft material distant graft site etc.) Removing the implant leads to a higher chance of curing the infection, but is associated with a longer recovery. Osseous malalignment in the coronal or sagittal planes would also need correction along with or prior to revision ACL surgery. One of the most serious complications facing patients who undergo revision surgery is infection. "This is an obvious frustration to surgeons and coders " she adds "because the range of work in a repair versus a reconstruction is wide." The surgeon uses the middle third of the patient's quadriceps tendon and a bone plug from the upper end of the kneecap, which produces a larger graft for taller and heavier patients. Over time, however, a knee replacement may fail for a variety of reasons. 0000013979 00000 n This replacement tissue is called a graft.
