A Novel Fixation Method of the Graft to the Fibular Head in Knee Lateral Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: Technical Note
Mesut Uluöz

TL;DR
This paper introduces a new surgical technique for knee lateral collateral ligament reconstruction that avoids using tendon grafts and bioscrews.
Contribution
The novel fixation method eliminates the need for tendon grafts and bioscrews in fibular head fixation during LCL reconstruction.
Findings
The proposed technique does not require contralateral hamstring tendons or allografts.
The method simplifies fibular fixation in lateral collateral ligament reconstruction.
Abstract
The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is the strongest lateral stabilizer of the knee. It provides support against varus stress and posterolateral rotation of the knee. Lateral collateral ligament injuries mostly occur together with anterior and/or posterior cruciate ligament injuries. While grades 1 and 2 injuries are treated conservatively since they are partial injuries, total ruptures, as in grade 3, require surgical treatment. In conventional LCL reconstruction methods, hamstring grafts are used, and bioscrews are used in bone-tendon fixation. Lateral collateral ligament reconstruction is usually performed as a component of multiple ligament surgery. Therefore, there is a need for a contralateral hamstring tendon or allograft. The present article aims to define a technique that does not require tendon grafts and bioscrews in fibular fixation. O ligamento colateral lateral (LCL) é…
