Dec 3, 2022 · Cyclops lesions are an unfortunate sequelae of anterior cruciate ligament injury, and are most commonly seen following ACL reconstructions. The cyclops lesion is a consequence of a localised form of anterior arthrofibrosis. This results in the formation of a nodule of fibrous tissue in the anterior portion of the ACL graft (Tonin et al., 2001).
Nov 2, 2021 · Cyclops lesions usually found 10–25% after ACL reconstruction . Although typically formed within the first six months after surgery, its size typically remains constant in size over two years. Cyclops lesion which causes a loss of terminal extension, anterior knee pain and altered gait after an ACL reconstruction is called cyclops syndrome .
The cyclops lesion, a well-known complication of ACL reconstruction surgery, is an ovoid fibroproliferative nodule found anterior to the ACL graft. The moniker of “cyclops lesion” was given based on the arthroscopic appearance of the fibrous nodule and vessels that resemble an eye.
Aug 28, 2020 · Cyclops lesion is a known complication of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Although the incidence of cyclops lesion appears to be decreasing, it remains an important cause of restriction of extension after ACLR.
First described in 1990 by Jackson and Schaefer (1), a cyclops lesion is a reasonably common complication following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), with the majority being benign and asymptomatic (2). These lesions can also develop in knees that have had ACL injury without a reconstruction (3).
Abstract. OBJECTIVE. Localized anterior fibrosis (cyclops lesion) is a known cause of extension loss of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. We describe MR imaging as a noninvasive diagnostic tool to examine cyclops lesions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS.
Jul 10, 2017 · The cyclops lesion is a localized anterior arthrofibrosis most commonly seen following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The lesion forms at the anterior cruciate ligament insertion creating a painful extension block between femoral intercondylar notch and tibial plateau.
