Abstract
The superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) and associated knee structures are the most commonly injured structures of the knee. Most isolated sMCL tears are treated nonoperatively. Several studies have described different algorithms for treatment of sMCL lesions, as well as different types of techniques, both in the acute and in chronic settings. The purpose of this article was to detail our anatomic sMCL augmentation technique using semitendinosus and gracilis tendon autografts.
