Autologous Single Semitendinosus Anatomical Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction With Adjustable-Loop Cortical Suspension Devices.

We present our surgical technique for the reconstruction of the posterolateral corner of the knee. It is a tibia- and fibular-based reconstruction technique. Most of these procedures require the use of 2 tendons (autograft or allograft). In our technique, a single semitendinosus tendon is required, making the procedure more suitable if the surgeon prefers the use of autograft or when there is no access to a tissue bank. This is even more important in the setting of multiligament knee injuries. The most defining feature of this modification is the possibility of achieving the desired graft tension in a progressive and independent way, due to the use of 3 adjustable-loop cortical suspension devices.
