Abstract

Update This article was updated on June 7, 2024 because of a previous error. One author's name was incorrect. The correct name is Marc A. Beckerman, MD. An erratum (JBJS Case Connect. 2024;14[2]:e23.00423ER) has been published for this article. Case: A 36-year-old, 7-month pregnant woman presented to the office with a locked knee and a displaced bucket-handle medial meniscus tear, in the setting of chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insufficiency. After thorough discussion with the patient and her husband, the obstetrician, and the anesthesiologist, the patient was treated with left knee ACL reconstruction and medial meniscus repair. Conclusion: With sufficient preoperative planning and coordinated multidisciplinary care among orthopaedic, anesthesiologist, and obstetric specialists, elective knee surgery can be performed safely in time-sensitive situations during pregnancy.
