Advantages and Disadvantages of the Surgical Technique

Advantages

Disadvantages

•Restoration of dynamic and static components of the posterolateral corner •Arthroscopic retrieval of the popliteus tendon prevents deep dissection of the posterior knee •Additional stability with iliotibial band tenodesis without additional incision •One incision is needed for the reconstruction •The technique can also be done using a hamstring autograft, but another incision is needed

•Technically challenging dissection of the posterolateral corner, particularly when exploring and protecting the peroneal nerve •Arthroscopic retrieval of the popliteus tendon may require experienced assistance to optimize visualization and maintain knee stability throughout the procedure •Larger clinical studies are needed to further evaluate long-term outcomes and the overall stability of the construct
