| pubmed-article:10969547 | pubmed:abstractText | We report a granulomatous inflammatory reaction after administration of absorbable interference-fit screws for fixation of patellar-tendon-autograft in anterior-cruciate-ligament reconstruction, leading to spontaneous fracture of the tibia. Radiological evaluation demonstrated osteolytic lesions at the interference-fit screw insertion-site. Histological findings included a sterile inflammatory reaction and giant-cell formation. | lld:pubmed |
