Case Reports: A Stener-like Lesion of the Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee

Abstract: When the superficial fibers of the medial collateral ligament of the knee are torn without tearing of the deep fibers, the anterior superficial fibers may displace over the pes anserinus tendons, so that healing back to the tibial insertion site may be jeopardized. As only the anterior superficial and not the posterior superficial or deep fibers are disrupted, the knee will not have increased valgus laxity in extension whereas there is not a firm end point in 30°flexion. The clinical findings could be confused… Show more

“…The distal MCL should always be followed distally to its insertion, medial to the pes anserine tendons. Occasionally, the MCL in distal disruptions can become superficially located with respect to the pes anserine tendons, analogous to a Stener lesion of the thumb 10 (Figure 14). …”

“…1). 8,18,19 A long-leg cylinder cast is placed with the knee in full extension and the patient is instructed on foot-flat touchdown weight-bearing, avoidance of walking in an externally rotated position (to minimize valgus-external rotation force), quad isometrics, straight leg raises, and ankle pumps in the cast. In approximately 7 to 10 days, the cast is bivalved and the patient initiates physical therapy to begin range of motion exercises 3 to…”

“…The authors feel that acute medial-sided repair has very limited indications, which include a displaced peripheral meniscus tear, severe retraction, or displacement of the sMCL likely to result in healing in a nonfunctional position, MCL entrapment, a newly described Stener-type lesion of the MCL and pes anserinus, 18 bony avulsion of the sMCL, associated patella dislocation with concomitant MPFL avulsion, or avulsion of the direct attachment of the SM (Fig. 4).…”
