Abstract
The posterolateral corner (PLC), composed of three static stabilizers including the fibular collateral ligament, popliteus tendon, and popliteofibular ligament, collectively provide posterolateral knee stability (varus and external rotation). Disruption of this complex typically occurs in the setting of concomitant multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKI), typically requiring surgical management for restoration of knee stability. Anatomic surgical reconstructions have been shown to outperform non-anatomic reconstructions or repairs, yet are technically challenging and are not exempt of complications. The present review will address the anatomy and biomechanics of the involved structures, detail the senior author's anatomic three ligament tibiofemoral based reconstruction technique, and provide tips and tricks for avoiding the most frequently associated intraoperative and postoperative complications.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma (JCOT) aims to provide its readers with the latest clinical and basic research, and informed opinions that shape today''s orthopedic practice, thereby providing an opportunity to practice evidence-based medicine. With contributions from leading clinicians and researchers around the world, we aim to be the premier journal providing an international perspective advancing knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. JCOT publishes content of value to both general orthopedic practitioners and specialists on all aspects of musculoskeletal research, diagnoses, and treatment. We accept following types of articles: • Original articles focusing on current clinical issues. • Review articles with learning value for professionals as well as students. • Research articles providing the latest in basic biological or engineering research on musculoskeletal diseases. • Regular columns by experts discussing issues affecting the field of orthopedics. • "Symposia" devoted to a single topic offering the general reader an overview of a field, but providing the specialist current in-depth information. • Video of any orthopedic surgery which is innovative and adds to present concepts. • Articles emphasizing or demonstrating a new clinical sign in the art of patient examination is also considered for publication. Contributions from anywhere in the world are welcome and considered on their merits.
