Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Upper Extremity Reconstruction

Background:

  • Chronic radial collateral ligament (RCL) injuries impair elbow function and stability.
  • While acute tears benefit from anatomical repair, neglected cases require reconstruction.
  • Existing reconstruction methods for chronic RCL tears vary.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a detailed, modified surgical technique for chronic RCL tears.
  • To describe a novel approach using an autologous tendon graft in a triangular fashion.
  • To introduce the keyhole technique for enhanced graft fixation in RCL reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves harvesting an autologous tendon graft.
  • The graft is prepared and placed in a triangular configuration.
  • Drill holes are utilized for secure graft fixation, termed the keyhole technique.

Main Results:

  • This modified technique aims to restore range of motion.
  • The triangular graft placement and keyhole fixation enhance joint stability.
  • The procedure is designed for chronic and neglected RCL injuries.

Conclusions:

  • The described modified technique offers a viable option for chronic RCL tears.
  • This approach facilitates restoration of elbow stability and function.
  • The keyhole technique provides secure fixation for autologous tendon grafts.
