Abstract

Most medial collateral injuries require very challenging therapeutic management, even for expert surgeons. After the failure of conservative treatment, the physician's first choice should be a minimally invasive surgical technique. Reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow with graft is the most described, demanding, and time-consuming procedure compared to plication of the ligament. This Technical Note aims to validate the results concerning a surgical technique, the MI70 procedure, elaborated to imbricate the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament and the anteromedial capsule through a suture anchor, through a 70° scope vision (MI70).
