Cyclops lesion (dictionary definition)

Arthrofibrosis after cruciate ligament surgery

Of all the conditions on the list for triggering arthrofibrosis, anterior cruciate ligament surgery used to come tops. But the chance of developing arthrofibrosis after ACL surgery is less nowadays than it used to be. This is because research into this problem led to surgeons changing their practice, so that one is less likely these days to have an ACL reconstruction complicated by arthrofibrosis than one would have ten years ago.
