Complications Using Bioabsorbable Cross-Pin Femoral Fixation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

The use of bioabsorbable cross-pin transcondylar fixation has remained a viable option for femoral fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Although numerous biomechanical studies have demonstrated high fixation strength and minimal slippage with use of this method of fixation, there h...
