Reconstruccion del Ligamento Colateral Medial

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This 2012 medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction case involves a 30-year-old patient with previous ACL surgeries. The procedure includes addressing two ligament injuries via arthroscopy and medial incision. The surgeon uses Achilles tendon grafts, places screws near the medial epicondyle and tibial joint, and performs bone-tendon fixation. A tightrope device is employed initially without screws, followed by screw and washer placement on the tibia and femur. The technique emphasizes isometric positioning and tension adjustment to restore stability. The surgery concludes with securing the graft and ensuring proper knee alignment and function.
