Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction With Dual Adjustable-Loop Suspensory Fixation: A Technique Guide.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this technique paper is to outline a minimally invasive technique using dual suspensory fixation with adjustable-loop devices for reconstruction of the superficial medial collateral ligament. The femoral fixation is performed through a limited approach at the anatomic origin of the medial collateral ligament, a socket is prepared, and the graft is docked using the adjustable-loop suspensory fixation. The tibial socket is prepared through a separate incision just distal to the pes anserine tendons and drilled medially to laterally perpendicular to the tibial shaft. The graft is tunneled and docked into the tibial tunnel using adjustable-loop cortical suspensory fixation on the far cortex. The knee is cycled through a full arc of motion and stressed in valgus to take initial c
