Open Medial Meniscotibial Ligament Repair With Concomitant Open Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Repair With Internal Brace Augmentation

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Historically, nonsurgical management for these injuries has been favored for a majority of grade I-III sprains, particularly femoral-based. However, when coupled with other injuries such as meniscotibial ligament...

description The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Historically, nonsurgical management for these injuries has been favored for a majority of grade I-III sprains, particularly femoral-based. However, when coupled with other injuries such as meniscotibial ligament tears or distal Stener type avulsion tears, early surgical management for these cases is recommended. This will allow for stabilization and protection of the meniscus in addition to preventing residual valgus laxity, especially related to more severe Stener-like avulsions of the superficial MCL that can be seen with meniscotibial ligament tears. Utilizing an open approach, meniscotibial repair with suture anchors with internal brace augmentation for the MCL repair can provide a strong final construct, and a safe and fast recovery.
