Abstract
Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) have been reported to occur in 13.3% to 19.7% of patients with anterior cruciate ligament tears. Severe cases can also lead to injury of the biceps femoris tendon, the iliotibial band, the lateral capsule, and the peroneal nerve. In cases in which a high-grade PLC injury with additional pathology is suspected, early surgical intervention is critical. This Technical Note describes a combined anterior cruciate ligament and PLC reconstruction with repairs to the lateral capsule, biceps femoris tendon, and iliotibial band attributable to a hyperextension injury.
