Evaluation of treatment strategy of acute knee infection after ACL reconstruction with hamstring.

1. Plain monitoring of patient body temperature in the morning and in the afternoon at fixed times with the elimination of the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs on the temperature values enables early detection of acute knee infection after ACL reconstruction and rapid implementation of appropriate management. 2. Targeted antibiotic therapy combined with arthroscopic debridement and through drainage is an effective means of treatment of acute knee infection after anterior cruciate ligament arthroscopic reconstruction with hamstring without sacrificing the graft. 3. The conducted studies indicate that the primary source of infection is the knee joint and, consequently, there is no need to inspect graft fixation sites as long as the clinical symptoms from these sites do not cause suspicions of infection.
