Abstract

This chapter describes our technique for the reconstruction of the posterolateral corner and the lateral collateral ligament of the knee. Posterolateral corner injuries are complex injuries that remain underdiagnosed. The resultant laxity from this injury can be classified as:

  • Horizontal plane laxity (posterolateral corner, PLC)

  • Frontal plane laxity (lateral collateral ligament, LCL)

  • Or combined in both planes (PLC and LCL)
