Surgical Management of Traumatic Knee Dislocation With Posterolateral Corner Injury

Functional assessment of combined reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner with a single femoral tunnel: a two-year minimum follow-up

“…Comparing this work with similar studies in the literature, Lee et al showed 89 % good results when reconstructing the ACL in different ways and the PLC with the modified Larson technique [17], while Ibrahim et al [13] showed 80 % satisfactory results in PLC reconstructions after knee dislocations. Neither author reconstructed the PT.…”

“…Numerous techniques have been described for PLC reconstruction. Although certain authors do not consider reconstruction of the PT to be essential [13], we believe that the best option is to reconstruct it in association with the LCL and popliteofibular ligament. In a recent systematic review of the literature, Bonanzinga et al [5] did not find a reconstruction technique that could be considered superior to the rest.…”

Surgical Management of the Multiple‐Ligament Injured Knee: a Case Series from Chongqing, China and Review of Published Reports

“…Therefore, the reported incidence of MLIK was far greater than the morbidity of knee dislocation, especially in Chongqing, China. Although this observation may appear rudimentary, in the authors’ experience the primary reason for failure of surgical treatment of cruciate and collateral ligaments injuries is unrecognized posteromedial or posterolateral lesions, and this failure to diagnose and evaluate properly can result in a host of complications.…”

Medial Injury in Knee Dislocations: What Are the Common Injury Patterns and Surgical Outcomes?

“…In contrast to the abundant biomechanical and clinical research into injuries to the posterolateral corner and associated lateral ligamentous structure injuries in knee dislocations [4,5,10,17,18,29], the available literature and dedicated investigation to the medial-sided ligamentous injury in knee dislocations is sparse, particularly with regard to clinical outcomes [1-3, 12, 14, 15, 19, 24, 26-28]. Furthermore, the majority of available studies historically view the medial-sided injury as an MCL injury alone or in combination with an isolated ACL tear, failing to account for the multiple other structures that comprise the posteromedial corner and provide ligamentous support to the medial side of the knee that are frequently injured due to the rotational forces of a knee dislocation [6,7,11,13].…”
