Surgical Treatment of Subacute and Chronic Valgus Instability in Multiligament-Injured Knees With Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Achilles Allografts

Abstract

In a small set of patients with multiligament-injured knees, valgus laxity can be effectively restored through surgical management with superficial MCL reconstruction, when the other associated ligament injuries are reconstructed as well. The subjective functional results were significantly improved postoperatively at short-term follow-up.
