Cyclops lesion is a nodule or hypertrophied graft tissue and is commonly associated with a more anteriorly placed tibial tunnel or a disorganized mass of scar tissue in the anterior compartment. 6. It is the second most common cause of restricted knee extension after graft impingement.
Cyclops lesion or localized anterior arthrofibrosis, an arthroscopically treatable complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, is a fibrous nodule located in the intercondylar notch anterior to the ACL graft. [1] The lesion has a typical MRI and arthroscopic appearance.
Imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the best diagnostic test for cyclops lesions with a sensitivity of 85%, a specificity of 84.6%, and accuracy of 84.8%(18,19). Lesions appear as well visualized nodules with a convex anterior border.

Arthroscopic studies have estimated the prevalence of symptomatic cyclops lesions after ACL surgery ranging between 1% and 9.8% [16, 17].
Usually, this loss of knee extension after an ACL reconstruction is caused by a cyclops lesion. Let's dive deeper into this! Often times, they'll present with anterior knee pain, posterior knee soreness and a relatively weakened quadriceps muscle that just won't return.
How do you prevent Cyclops Lesion from occurring? The most important thing in preventing these issues is early physical therapy. Our patients start physical therapy the day after surgery.
Knee Scar Tissue TreatmentsPhysical Therapy: A physical therapist will provide exercises to help strengthen the tissues and muscles around your knee joint. ... Manipulation: A surgeon will move the joint in specific ways to loosen and break up scar tissue.More items...•
The most common complication and cause for poorer outcomes following ACL reconstruction is motion loss, particularly loss of full knee extension. The inability to fully extend the knee results in abnormal joint motions, scar tissue formation in the front of the knee joint, and subtle changes in normal knee mobility.

Anterior cruciate ligament graft impingement is the result of functional impairment of the anterior cruciate ligament graft by interference with bony and soft tissue structures within the intercondylar notch.
Arthroscopic debridement or a clean-up is a surgical procedure performed using an arthroscope. In this procedure, the cartilage or the bone that is damaged is removed using surgical instruments and the edges of the articular cartilage that are rough will be smoothened.
Discussion. Notchplasty is an ancillary surgical procedure that consists of reshaping and widening of the intercondylar femoral notch, historically developed and performed with the aim to avoid ACL graft impingement and improve visualization of the lateral wall of the femoral notch during ACLR surgery.
A cyclops lesion is a complication of anterior cruciate ligament surgery, where the new replacement ligament slowly strips away and bundles into a knot, jamming up the 'intercondylar notch' and preventing the knee from fully straightening . The lump sometimes looks like the central eye of a mythical 'cyclops' monster, hence the name.
The VICC agrees with enquirer's selection of principal diagnosis, T84.4 Mechanical complication of other internal orthopaedic devices, implants and grafts.#N#An additional code, if required, should further specify the specific disorder and reflect the condition of the ligament, for example, ‘disorder of ligament’ rather than a symptom or manifestation. Therefore the assignment of M25.66 Stiffness of joint, not elsewhere classified, knee is not supported.#N#The correct external cause code to assign in this scenario is Y83.2 Surgical operation with anastomosis, bypass or graft as it is more specific than Y83.4 which is ‘other’ reconstructive surgery.
Other than 759.89, what code would you use for a cyclops lesion?#N#"There was a large, soft tissue mass attached to the ACL graft consisent with a diagnosis of a cylcops lesion."
A cyclops lesion, its name deriving from its resemblance to an eyeball at arthroscopy, is a complication of ACL repairs. It is also known as localized anterior arthrofibrosis, and its exact aetiology is uncertain, and may be related to gradual fraying and bunching up of ACL or graft fibres, excessive fibrosis, or even as a result ...
