We report the case of a patient that presented an intra-articular protrusion of the tibial bone block after an arthroscopically-assisted ACL reconstruction using a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft. The divergence between the tunnel and the screw was thought to be the reason of the migration. There are several animal-model studies that evidence a relationship between the decreased fixation of the graft and the tunnel-screw divergence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this complication.
