Abstract:
The main principles of the present medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction techniques are (1) to approximate the natural anatomy and (2) to restore the main passive restraining structures in anteromedial and posteromedial knee instability. Therefore, we describe a technique using a flat tendon graft instead of tubular grafts with point-to-point bone fixation. Moreover, we address the deep MCL, a relevant restraint to anteromedial instability.
