Medial collateral ligament section during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty managed by direct repair and fascia lata augmentation autograft: a case report and surgical technique
Background: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is crucial for ensuring implant stability after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Intraoperative MCL lesions can cause valgus instability, affecting function and implant longevity, and thereby negatively impacting the patient’s outcome. Every surgeon who performs UKA may encounter this complication in their daily practice. In this context, this case report…

Abstract: The internal brace technique uses a high-strength suture tie to augment injured tissues or a primary repair, allowing early rehabilitation. Anatomic repair with internal bracing is a novel and promising treatment for femoral-sided medial knee avulsion injuries of the medial collateral ligament and posterior oblique ligament. Unfortunately, biomechanical and clinical data are lacking….. Read…
