Abstract
Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are complex knee injuries that are becoming increasingly frequent. Often undiagnosed and underestimated, a systematic diagnostic workup is necessary to assess the severity of PLC injury in order to then be able to select the proper surgery approach. Anatomical and nonanatomical PLC-reconstruction techniques have been described. In this Technical Note, we describe our technique of biomechanical reconstruction of PLC in case of severe posterolateral rotational instability.
