“…Gait abnormalities and knee instability occur after proximal fibula resection [11]. Studies in a cadaver have demonstrated that the fibular collateral ligament provides the main resistance to varus rotation at the knee [12]. Draganich et al reported increased anterior and anteroposterior translation of the knee in flexion, varusvalgus rotations at 20°flexion and several abnormalities in ground reaction forces [11].…”

“…First, the MCL is an extremely important structure in preventing medial joint opening and external tibial rotation in the human knee (Grood et al, 1981;Monahan et al, 1984;Palmer, 1938;Seering et al, 1980;Warren et al, 1974), and approximately 40% of all severe knee injuries involve the MCL (Miyasaka et al, 1991). Second, because of its planar geometry and size, the MCL is ideal for harvesting transverse samples for direct measurement of permeability.…”

“…In Warren's initial works, the superficial MCL was described as the "prime static stabilizer of the medial side of the knee" [7]. Valgus forces are resisted by the superficial MCL with the knee in the flexed position; however, it does not seem to affect medial stability at full extension based on early studies that evaluated isolated sectioning of the ligament [15,16]. More advanced biomechanical studies have recently shown the superficial MCL to provide the primary restraint to valgus force at all angles through the arc of motion at its proximal end [17•, 18•].…”

“…The structures of the PMC are taut in full extension, providing stability and resistance to valgus stress in the fully extended position [15,20]. These structures begin to slacken as the knee flexes.…”
