This anatomical medial knee reconstruction technique provides native stability and ligament load distribution in patients with chronic or severe acute medial knee injuries.
Patients undergoing double-bundle PCL reconstruction with use of endoscopic placement of femoral tunnels had significant improvements in subjective and objective outcome scores and with objective knee stability.
An anatomical fibular collateral ligament reconstruction using a semitendinosus graft results in improved patient outcomes and near-normal lateral compartment stability in patients with grade III injuries of the fibular collateral ligament.
The results confirm that meniscal transplantation significantly reduces pain, decreases activity-related effusions, and improves function in patients with prior meniscectomy; however, the long-term chondroprotective effects remain unknown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
