# Arthroscopic Imbrication of the Anterior Bundle of the Elbow Medial Collateral Ligament With a 70° Arthroscope (MI70 Procedure)

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a minimally invasive surgical technique for elbow medial collateral ligament repair using a 70° arthroscope.

## Contribution

The novel MI70 procedure offers a less invasive alternative to traditional ligament reconstruction.

## Key findings

- The MI70 procedure imbricates the anterior bundle and anteromedial capsule using a suture anchor.
- The technique utilizes a 70° arthroscope for improved visualization and precision.
- It presents a potentially faster and less demanding alternative to traditional reconstruction.

## Abstract

Most medial collateral injuries require very challenging therapeutic management, even for expert surgeons. After the failure of conservative treatment, the physician’s first choice should be a minimally invasive surgical technique. Reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament of the elbow with graft is the most described, demanding, and time-consuming procedure compared to plication of the ligament. This Technical Note aims to validate the results concerning a surgical technique, the MI70 procedure, elaborated to imbricate the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament and the anteromedial capsule through a suture anchor, through a 70° scope vision (MI70).
