Zusammenfassung:Objectives: Septic arthritis is a rare but devastating complication following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Reported infection rates following ACL reconstruction are low, but associated with high morbidity including reoperation and inferior clinical outcomes. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the rate of infection after ACL reconstruction with and without graft preparation with vancomycin irrigant. Methods: All ACL reconstructions performed from May 2009-August 2018 at a single, large academic institution were reviewed and categorized based on vancomycin use. Those with
