  • Title: Anatomical MCL reconstruction following TKA.
    Author: Wierer G, Runer A, Hoser C, Gföller P, Fink C.
    Journal: Knee; 2016 Oct; 23(5):911-4. PubMed ID: 27396812.
    Abstract:
    Adequate ligament balancing has a tremendous impact on successful total knee arthroplasty. In case of instability, severely disabling symptoms require revision surgery. Here we present a case of early total knee arthroplasty failure due to secondary valgus laxity, which was successfully treated with medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction. For anatomical MCL reconstruction, a flattened semitendinosus autograft was used to reconstruct the superficial medial collateral and the posterior oblique ligament.
