Combined Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Knee Reconstruction: Avoiding Tunnel Convergence
Combined posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries represent a complex pathology that requires a thorough clinical and radiographic examination to diagnose and identify all injured structures. Anatomic reconstruction of the injured ligaments is recommended, incl...

description | Combined posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries represent a complex pathology that requires a thorough clinical and radiographic examination to diagnose and identify all injured structures. Anatomic reconstruction of the injured ligaments is recommended, including double-bundle PCL reconstruction and superficial MCL augmentation. In the setting of this complex reconstruction, several technical aspects require consideration and preoperative planning, including the risk of femoral tunnel convergence on the medial aspect of the femoral condyle. This article details our technique for combined anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction and superficial MCL augmentation to avoid tunnel convergence. Level I (knee); level II (PCL). |
