An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the knee joint's most common soft tissue injuries \[1\]. It is frequently injured in non-contact and some contact competition sports and even during ordinary life activities. With an annual incidence of 68.6 per 100,000 person-years, ACL tears remain a common orthopedic injury \[2\]. Females are two to eight times more likely to develop ACL tears in sports compared to men who play the same particular sports \[3\]. Most highly demanding persons and those who develop frequent instability of their knee require reconstructive surgery on the ACL to prevent early degenerative changes in their knees. This is done by completely removing the torn or ruptured ACL and replacement with a piece of tendon or ligament (graft) \[4\]. Post-operative infection may occur in 0.14-2.6% of ACL reconstruction despite intravenous antibiotics prophylaxis \[5,6\
