Posterolateral corner injuries require surgical reconstruction for grade III tears due to significant knee instability. This technical note details an anatomic reconstruction technique for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Knee Biomechanics
Sports Medicine

Background:

Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are complex knee lesions affecting coronal and rotatory stability.
These injuries often accompany other ligament damage, complicating treatment decisions.
Grade III PLC injuries lead to substantial instability and poor results with nonoperative management.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a diagnostic approach for posterolateral corner injuries.
To outline postoperative management strategies.
To describe a technique for anatomic reconstruction of the PLC.

Main Methods:

Review of diagnostic methods for PLC injuries.
Description of a surgical technique for anatomic PLC reconstruction.
