We assessed the reasons for compensation claims reported to LÖF following an ACL injury. Patients and methods — We searched the LÖF database for compensation claims related to ACL injuries reported in 2005–2014, and cross-matched claims with the Swedish National Knee Ligament Register. We then performed a review of the medical records. Results — We identified 530 eligible claims in 2005–2014. 352 (66%) claims were accepted by LÖF and 178 claims were rejected. Accepted claims corresponded to fewer than 1% of ACL surgeries performed in the same period. The most common reasons for an accepted claim were postoperative septic arthritis followed by suboptimal surgery and delay in diagnosis and treatment. Interpretation — There are different reasons for accepting a compensation claim following an ACL injury, which represents different treatment errors that can be avoided.Osama OmarDzan RizvanovicMarkus WaldénKarl ErikssonBjörn BareniusAnders StålmanTaylor & Francis GrouparticleOrthopedic surgeryRD701-811ENActa Orthopaedica, Vol 0, Iss 0, Pp 1-6 (2021) |
