Editorial Commentary: Soaking Anterior Cruciate Ligament Grafts in Vancomycin Solution Lowers Infection Rates Without Lowering Functional Outcomes. Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association Xiao, M., Abrams, G. D., Editorial Board 2022; 38 (5): 1535-1536Abstract
Soaking anterior cruciate ligament grafts in vancomycin solution is done by many surgeons. Research has indicated decreased infection rates and similar anterior cruciate ligament retear rates between grafts soaked in vancomycin solution before implantation versus those without. In addition, there has been basic science evidence for tenocyte survival and viability even when exposed to vancomycin solution. The next frontier, investigating the maturation of vancomycin-soaked grafts with advanced imaging, may cause some surgeons to reconsider the practice but should not stop it, based on the available literature.
