Experimental rupture of the medial collateral ligament of the knee.
Severe injuries to the ligaments of the knee joint have recently begun to attract attention as a promising field for early reparative surgery. Palmer (1938) rationalised the diagnosis of these injuries and described the technique of surgical repair. Since then several further contributions, mostly from abroad, have supported early operation. In Britain, to judge from the literature, most surgeo...
متن کاملMorphology of the medial collateral ligament of the knee
BACKGROUND Quantitative knowledge on the anatomy of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is important for treatment of MCL injury and for MCL release during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The objective of this study was to quantitatively determine the morphology of the MCL of human knees. METHODS 10 cadaveric human knees were dissected to investigate the MCL anatomy. The specimens were fixed ...
متن کاملMedial collateral ligament injuries of the knee: current treatment concepts
The medial collateral ligament is one of the most commonly injured ligaments of the knee. Most injuries result from a valgus force on the knee. The increased participation in football, ice hockey, and skiing has all contributed to the increased frequency of MCL injuries. Prophylactic knee bracing in contact sports may prevent injury; however, performance may suffer. The majority of patients who...
متن کاملAnatomical reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament and the posterior oblique ligament of the knee.
Chronic medial knee instability is frequently due to a combination of superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) and posterior oblique ligament (POL) insufficiency. We present a new technique for simultaneous anatomical reconstruction of sMCL and POL, using an anterior tibialis tendon allograft with three reconstruction tunnels.
متن کاملAn Unusual Knee Trauma: Combined Rupture of Medial Collateral Ligament and Patellar Tendon
We present the case of a combined lesion of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and patellar tendon of the knee in a 45-year-old man, after a fall while skiing. Although there are numerous publications concerning associated tears of MCL and other knee ligaments, a combination of MCL tear with a rupture of the patellar tendon is very rare. After a review of the literature and treatment guidelin...
