Zusammenfassung:After the intra-articular drain placed during an arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is removed, cannulated interference screws can function as a new drain, leading to blood leakage in the pretibial tissue. Sealing the lumen of the cannulated screw with bone wax may prevent this complication. Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery, Vol 18, No 9 (November-December), 2002: E45
