Table 3 Postoperative complications in the High-a body shape index group and Low-a body shape index group after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, n (%)

Characteristic	High-ABSI group, n = 38	Low-ABSI group, n = 38	P value
Knee joint infection	2 (5.262)	2 (5.262)	> 0.9999
Internal fixation failure	1 (2.631)	0 (0.000)	> 0.9999
Deep vein thrombosis of lower limb	8 (21.04)	1 (2.631)a	0.0284
