Abstrakt     Knee ligament injuries are common in alpine skiing. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is involved in almost two thirds of cases. Operative reconstruction with a free patellar tendon graft is the standard method of treatment. Loss of knee motion (arthrofibrosis) is a complication following ACL reconstruction, which substantially compromises the result of operative treatment of un unstable knee. In a series of 200 consecutive ACLreconstructions performed through a miniarthrotomy, out of which 71 (35,7%) were obtained at skiing, eight (4%) arthroscopic reoperations were needed because of loss of motion. This retrospective study was designed to clarify the causes, and to evaluate the results of arthroscopic treatment of this complication. Arthrofibrosis was more common in older patients and those operated early after injury. After reoperation, the functional outcome scores of patients, who underwent arthroscopic fibroarthrolysis and those who did not, were statistically the same.
