The signs of ACL graft failure can include swelling, pain within the knee, locking within the knee, a mechanical block (which can be due to a bucket-handle tear of the meniscus), lack of full motion, and difficulty with twisting, turning, and pivoting.
ICD-10: Z96. 651, Status (post), organ replacement, by artificial or mechanical device or prosthesis of, joint, knee-see presence of knee joint implant.
Technical mistakes are usually responsible for reconstruction failure that occurs within 6 months after surgery15). Surgical technique-related errors are the most common cause of relapsing instability after ACL reconstruction, accounting for 77% to 95% of all cases of ACL failure.
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.
Other specified postprocedural statesICD-10 code Z98. 89 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Z47.89ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare Z47. 89.
The graft failure occurring in the first 12 months following surgery is generally a result of non-traumatic causes and the failure after 12 months is mostly due to re-injury.
Hamstring tendon grafts are one of the most commonly used grafts for ACL reconstruction. The semitendinosus tendon with or without gracilis tendon is harvested, from ipsilateral leg.
In the case of ACL tears, the gold standard for treatment is ACL reconstruction. Reconstruction means that the old ACL is removed, and a new ligament is created using non-ACL tissue. For most young athletes, this means using tissue from somewhere else in their body to create a new anterior cruciate ligament.
This occurs when two interference bone screws are used. The last common cause of a failed ACL surgery lies in the rehabilitation – either a poorly designed program or the lack of motivation on the athletes' part to do the necessary rehabilitation. But, most often, the cause of failure is a combination of the above.
Conclusion: The maximum compressive stress, von Mises stress and shear stress of the ACL graft are located in the anterior femoral end, and the maximum tensile stress is located in the posterior femoral end, which is consistent with the position of the maximum tensile stress of the ACL of the uninjured knee joint.
When the ACL graft is loose or the knee unstable, the reconstruction can fail. It may be possible however to strengthen the graft with regenerative injection therapies. Many orthopedists and sports medicine specialists may not recommend ACL reconstruction because it is not realistic for the patient.
Vessels invade the graft, and the bodies cells clear the debris of dead cells, weakening the graft. The graft is much weaker than the native ACL and is at risk during activities which stress the ACL.
Patients can expect to stay active, enjoy high sports function and quality of life. A new study shows quality of life and sports-related function was sustained for many patients 10 years out from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair.
The decision to proceed with a second ACL surgery depends on the patient, the condition and stability of his or her knee, the desired activity level and imaging findings. Patients are advised to seek out a specialist with ample experience in revision ACL surgery for the best chance of a good outcome.
Every surgically reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament can retear. The risk ranges from one or two percent to more than 20 percent. The replacement ligament (graft) chosen for your surgery can significantly increase or decrease your chance of a retear.
Other mechanical complication of muscle and tendon graft, sequela 1 T84.490S is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. 2 Short description: Mech compl of muscle and tendon graft, sequela 3 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM T84.490S became effective on October 1, 2020. 4 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of T84.490S - other international versions of ICD-10 T84.490S may differ.

So the "translation" of the diagnosis "ACL (PCL, etc.) Deficient Knee" is "Chronic/Old Tear of the ACL (PCL) Ligament.".
The term "ACL (or PCL) Deficient Knee" refers to a knee in which the ACL (PCL) is believed or known to be absent (i.e. a nonfunctioning ligament), particularly if the physical examination reveals/fulfills all the exam criteria for the "Diagnosis.". Usually the MRI will also confirm damage or tearing of the ACL (PCL) of varying degrees of severity.
