“…However, involvement of the PLC often signifies an injury of ligamentous complex and the stability of the joint as well. Therefore, primary repair of associated injury of the fibular collateral ligament and popliteus tendons avulsions is recommended [22]. Also, with respect to the anatomy of the proximal tibia defined as a triangle trunk, the PLC should not be considered as a fourth column, and isolated PLC fractures cannot be considered as full column fractures.…”

With the introduction of variable angle locking compression plates, the revised 3-column classification approach is a very helpful tool in the preoperative surgical planning of tibial plateau fractures, in particular, lateral column fractures that extend into the posterolateral corner. The revised 3-column classification approach is rather a practical supplement to the Schatzker classification. It has a significantly higher interobserver reliability as compared to the Schatzker classification, most likely due to the more simple nature of the revised 3-column classification approach.

Knee ligament reconstructions are commonly performed orthopedic procedures. Graft fixation is generally performed with metallic or absorbable interference screws. In a recent study, only ten reports of screw migration were retrieved; of these, only one was not related to the anterior cruciate ligament, and the majority was related to the use of poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) screws. Only one case retrieved in the literature reported screw migration in reconstructions of the posterolateral corner, and that was to the intra-articular region. In the present article, the authors report a case of extra-articular and transcutaneous migration of a poly-l/d-lactide (PDLLA) interference screw following popliteal tendon reconstruction. Besides being the first case of popliteal tendon migration with extra-articular screw migration, no reports of PDLLA screw migration were retrieved in the literature.

“…17 Although the 'figure-of-8 posterolateral knee reconstruction according to Fanelli and Larson' is among the several techniques most frequently used, there is still no clear consensus regarding the swiftest return to sports. 18 19 We hypothesise that an all-out rigorous rehabilitation programme, where the athlete is pushed to his limits, will provide a faster return to work and preinjury level sports as opposed to adversely affecting the recovery.…”

Fast-tracked Rehabilitation and Return to Sport of an Elite Rugby Player with a Complicated Posterolateral Corner Injury and Associated Peroneal Paralysis

Acute posterolateral corner injuries of the knee with associated hamstring avulsions and peroneal paralysis are rare in rugby. Regain of motor function following a complete paralysis is documented to be 38%. To our knowledge, only one case describes return to preinjury level of competitive sport taking up to 27 months. A 24-year-old international level rugby player, a medical student, sustained an acute posterolateral knee injury with associated anterior cruciate ligament tear, bicep femoris and semimembranosus avulsions as well as a complete peroneal paralysis. The patient returned to full-time medical rotation work weeks at 5 months. At 10 months, the patient was considered to have returned to preinjury level of activity having managed a 5 km run, participated regularly in non-contact rugby and performed exercises at 140% of his preinjury maximum. This case report describes the successful outcome of a high-frequency high-intensity rehabilitation.
