In this case report, an unremarkable anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is complicated by a tourniquet-induced tibial nerve palsy. The case underscores the necessity of being aware of the potential for complications associated with tourniquets, despite following recommended guidelines of tourniquet time and pressure.
