A member asked:

Got infection after acl hybrid graft. doctor left non disolvable stitch in for 6 weeks. could that couse an infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Though this is a long time to leave stitches in it would rarely create an infection ; if it did it would be directly at the stitch.
