Patients often complain of pain and swelling over the<unk>  aspect of the<unk>  joint. They may also report instability with side-to-side movement and during athletic performance that involves cutting or pivoting. Complications Jacobson previously described the common problems to<unk> <unk>  surgery. It was stressed that adequate diagnosis is imperative and all possible<unk>  should be evaluated and addressed intraoperatively. Damage to the saphenous nerve and its infrapatellar branch is possible during<unk> <unk>  surgery, potentially causing numbness or pain over the<unk> <unk>  and leg. As with all surgeries, there is a risk of bleeding, wound problems, deep vein thrombosis, and infection that can complicate the outcome and rehabilitation process. The long term complication of arthrofibrosis and heterotopic ossification (Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome) are problems that are best addressed with early range of motion and following defined rehabilitation protocols. Failure of graft due to intrinsic mechanical forces should be prevented with preoperative alignment assessment (osteotomy treatment) and proper rehabilitation.
