Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Anatomy

Background:

The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is crucial for knee stability against varus forces, particularly at 30° flexion.
Isolated LCL injuries are uncommon, and graft availability for reconstruction can be limited.
The LCL's fibular insertion is anatomically close to the biceps femoris (BF) tendon insertion.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate the partial anterior biceps femoris (BF) tendon as an alternative autograft for lateral collateral ligament (LCL) reconstruction.
To explore a technique that preserves the posterior BF tendon to protect the peroneal nerve.
To enable LCL reconstruction via minimally invasive or open approaches, potentially avoiding direct nerve and fibula exploration.

Main Methods:

Anatomical study to assess the proximity of LCL and BF tendon insertions.
Proposal of utilizing a partial anterior BF tendon autograft for LCL reconstruction.
Description of both minimally invasive and standard open surgical techniques.

Main Results:

The partial anterior BF tendon serves as a feasible autograft source for LCL reconstruction.
Preserving the posterior BF tendon protects the peroneal nerve, potentially eliminating the need for its exploration.
Minimally invasive LCL reconstruction with this graft reduces soft tissue damage and operative time.

Conclusions:

Partial anterior BF tendon autograft is a promising option for LCL reconstruction.
This technique offers advantages in graft availability and surgical approach.
Minimally invasive LCL reconstruction using this autograft enhances patient recovery and reduces surgical morbidity.
