Single Soft Tissue Graft Reconstruction of the Fibular Collateral Ligament and Posterolateral Corner (SS‐48)

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: We report outcomes of a new technique utilizing a single soft tissue graft for FCL and posterolateral corner reconstruction, followed by a posterolateral capsular shift. Our technique takes into account the three main static posterolateral corner stabilizers (popliteofibular ligament, fibular collateral ligament, and posterolateral capsule). 19 knees in 19 patients were identified. Average follow-up was 19 months (range 12-29 months). Mean IKDC subjective score was 67, mean Lysholm score was 76. Complications included manipulation in two patients, and superficial wound infection requiring antibiotics in one patient. Only one patient has required revision reconstruction. Our series demonstrated satisfactory clinical and functional results.
