Reduction of Collision Risk in Multi-ligament Knee Injury KD-III-M and KD-IV Surgery—Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction with Suture Anchors

Surgical reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) can be challenging during multi-ligament knee injury surgery due to the limited working space. There is risk of collision between the guide pin, pulling sutures, reamer, tunnel, implant, and graft of the different ligament reconstructions. In this Technical Note, we detail our senior author’s technique for superficial MCL reconstruction using suture anchors and cruciate ligament reconstruction with all-inside techniques. The technique mitigates the risk of collision by confining the reconstruction process and implants for MCL fixation on the medial femoral condyle and medial proximal tibia.
