e ACL reconstruction using a tourniquet following trauma. He developed thigh swelling at the tourniquet site after surgery. Right thigh ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated extensive interstitial edema in all compartments without collection, hematoma, or hemorrhage. The patient was treated with dexamethasone and Lasix for four days. Rehabilitation activities included exercises to improve range of motion (ROM), strength exercises, and a home workout routine. Two weeks after discharge, the swelling decreased by about 80%.
Conclusion: We believe that using a tourniquet during the reconstruction surgery may be responsible for the extensive edema in the limb. However, despite several diagnostic methods, we could not explain the reason for the edema in the limb following surgery.
