Abstract:
The original description of the LaPrade technique for anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction addresses the 3 main stabilizing structures: the fibular collateral ligament, the popliteus, and the popliteofibular ligament. The use of two separate grafts (originally described with a tendo-Achilles allograft) may restrict the utility of the technique when sources of allograft may be limited and autografts must be used, particularly in the context of multiligament reconstruction. We present a modification of the technique, in which an adjustable cortical button is used for tibial fixation, which allows for the use of a single graft while maintaining the ability to independently tension the popliteus, popliteofibular ligament, and fibular collateral ligament limbs of the graft.

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
