How to treat lump under incision post acl reconstructive surgery?
Patient: Hi Dr. Siegel,two and a half weeks ago, I had an acl reconstructive surgery done on my left knee. My surgeon used an allograft and the surgery went well. However, I have a lump under the incision site and it's semi hard. I wanted to know if this is normal? Doctor: hiI understand your concernthis semi hard lump most probably is the screw which is used to fix the ACL graft to your shin bone it may be somewhat long or not sunken in the boneif its bio absorbable it quite simple don't need anything it will resolve, but if its titanium you should consult your doctor.
