Tenodesis Anchors: A Convenient Technique for Collateral Ligament Reconstructions

Collateral injuries are usually found in association with cruciate ligament tears. There are multiple techniques to reconstruct the collateral ligaments using autografts and allografts. Conventionally, interference screws are used to fix the graft on the femur, tibia, and fibula. We describe a techn...

Description
Summary:Collateral injuries are usually found in association with cruciate ligament tears. There are multiple techniques to reconstruct the collateral ligaments using autografts and allografts. Conventionally, interference screws are used to fix the graft on the femur, tibia, and fibula. We describe a technique that does not require extensive graft preparation and is simple, reproducible, and less time-consuming using tenodesis anchors that give both compression and stability at the graft insertion sites. In this article, we describe posterolateral corner and medial collateral ligament reconstructions using this technique. [Display omitted]
