“…In the normal knee, PoT is pulled by the popliteal muscle with knee flexion. Several authors suggest that PFL has a similar isometric behavior , and that it needs to be rebuilt from the fibula to the femur [23,28,31,[35][36][37]. This reconstruction can be performed with autologous semitendinosus or biceps strap [28].…”

“…Ho et al [40] experimentally compared two techniques based on a transfibular tunnel and either a femoral tunnel (technique A) or two femoral tunnels (technique B). Both techniques control varus identically.…”
Injury to the cruciate ligaments of the knee commonly occurs in association with posterolateral instability, which can cause severe functional disability including varus, posterior translation, and external rotational instability. Failure to diagnose and treat an injury of the posterolateral corner in a patient who has a tear of the cruciate ligament can also result in the failure of the reconstructed cruciate ligament. There seems to be a consensus of opinion that injury to the posterolateral corner, whether isolated or combined, is best treated by reconstructing the posterolateral corner along with the coexisting cruciate ligament injury, if combined. Commonly proposed methods of reconstructing the posterolateral corner have focused on the reconstruction of the popliteus, the popliteofibular ligament, and the lateral collateral ligament. The aim of this conference is to describe the posterolateral corner reconstruction technique and to provide an algorithm of treatment.
“…Ho et al [40] ont comparé expérimentalement deux techniques basées sur un tunnel transfibulaire et soit un tunnel fémoral (technique A), soit deux tunnels fémoraux (technique B). Les deux techniques contrôlent le varus de manière identique.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
