case_images: Swelling and cyst formation at the lateral aspect of the knee ten years after a noncomplicated ACL reconstruction. The cyst is underneath the skin incision that was made for the introduction of the crosspin device for femoral graft fixation.

case_images: Physical exploration showed swelling at the lateral aspect of the lateral femoral condyle (Figure 1).
case_images: Magnetic resonance image (MRI) showing the fistula, marked with a red circle, that connects the ACL graft femoral tunnel to the cortical bone. The tunnel is filled with synovial fluid which comes from inside the joint. This image also shows the soft tissue disruption in the lateral aspect of the femoral condyle.
