The reproducibility and repeatability of varus stress radiographs in the assessment of isolated fibular collateral ligament and grade-III posterolateral knee injuries.

BACKGROUND Objective measures to quantitate the amount of lateral compartment opening for patients with lateral and posterolateral knee injuries have not been well documented. The purpose of the present study was to measure lateral compartment opening secondary to applied varus stresses following posterolateral corner structure sectioning and to develop radiographic guidelines to quantify the a...

Diagnosis and treatment of posterolateral knee injuries.

Posterolateral knee injuries can be very debilitating. It is important to understand the complex anatomy and pertinent diagnostic tests to properly treat posterolateral knee injuries. The fibular collateral ligament, popliteus tendon, and the popliteofibular ligament are the main static stabilizers against abnormal varus and posterolateral translational moments. Important radiographic imaging s...

Posterolateral Corner of the Knee:Current Concepts

       Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) comprise a significant portion of knee ligament injuries. A high index of suspicion is necessary when evaluating the injured knee to detect these sometimes occult injuries. Moreover, a thorough physical examination and a comprehensive review of radiographic studies are necessary to identify these injuries. In this sense, stress radiographs can ...

The effects of grade III posterolateral knee complex injuries on anterior cruciate ligament graft force. A biomechanical analysis.

To determine if untreated grade III injuries of the posterolateral structures contribute to increased force on an anterior cruciate ligament graft, we measured the force in the graft in cadaveric knees during joint loading after reconstruction with otherwise intact structures and in the same reconstructed knees after selected cutting of specific posterolateral knee structures. Tests were first ...

Treatment of Chronic Collateral Knee Injuries

Chronic Lateral Collateral Injuries Lateral collateral ligament (LCL), popliteus tendon and popliteo-fibular ligament (PFL) are the main static stabilizers on the lateral side of the knee and resist abnormal varus and external rotation. Isolated injuries of the lateral stabilizing structures are rare and most of the injuries are associated with damage to the ACL or PCL. Unrecognized posterolate...
