Abstract
Symptomatic cyclops lesions are complications that can be seen at rates of up to approximately 10% after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. However, recurrent cyclops lesions have rarely been documented. There are case rare series in the literature regarding the treatment of recurrent cyclops lesion. Future large studies are needed to investigate factors contributing to the development of cyclops lesions and syndrome and treatment options.
Core Tip: Although anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a surgery with low complication rates, it may sometimes require revision surgery. One of the reasons for this is cyclops syndrome, which can lead to knee extension limitation. However, recurrence after surgery is very rare. Discussion of this rare complication is important for the management of future complications.
