This study details an open anatomic reconstruction technique for the popliteus tendon, crucial for stabilizing the tibia. Early rehabilitation is key for optimal patient outcomes after popliteus tendon repair.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Biomechanics

Background:

The popliteus tendon is vital for restraining tibial external rotation and is frequently injured in posterolateral corner knee injuries.
Isolated popliteus tendon injuries are uncommon, typically occurring with other posterolateral corner structures.
Existing surgical techniques for popliteus tendon reconstruction vary, necessitating validated methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a specific open anatomic reconstruction technique for the popliteus tendon.
To highlight the biomechanical validation and clinical outcomes associated with this technique.
To outline an essential early rehabilitation protocol for maximizing patient recovery.

Main Methods:

Description of an open, anatomic surgical approach for popliteus tendon reconstruction.
