What's New With the Corners: Posterolateral Corner: How I Reliably Restore the Anatomy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Andrew Gieselin discusses the posterolateral corner of the knee, emphasizing the importance of understanding its anatomy and historical research developments. Key advancements stem from Drs. Lepron and Ingebrigtsen, who studied anatomy, biomechanics, and reconstruction techniques, leading to clinical outcome studies. The expert consensus highlights the use of varus stress (VARIS) x-rays, acute intervention within two to three weeks, and preference for anatomic reconstruction. However, global practices vary, with fewer using VARIS x-rays and different surgical techniques. Gieselin also details a new single graft reconstruction method and stresses safe surgical approaches, including nerve neurolysis and tunnel placements to avoid complications.
