Summary:Anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tears are common among sports injuries. There are different techniques for addressing anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tears, with distinct indications, advantages, and disadvantages. We present the case of a 23-year-old male who underwent right anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and posterior horn medial meniscus repair using an all-inside technique via superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) pie-crusting. Clinical examination and radiological investigations a few months later identified calcifications on the medial side of the right knee. We diagnosed the patient with heterotopic ossification post-sMCL pie-crusting; no apparent causal factors were present. To our knowledge, there have been no documented instances of heterotopic ossification following sMCL pie-crusting. In conclusion, heterotopic ossification may occur after sMCL pie-crusting; further studies are needed on this subject.
