Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner of the Knee With Achilles Tendon Allograft

Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner of the Knee With Achilles Tendon Allograft

Posterolateral corner injuries of the knee are relatively rare; however, they can result in significant long-term disability without appropriate treatment. They often occur in the setting of multiligament knee injuries, and as a result, diagnosis and management can be challenging. Severe injuries of...
