Less invasive approach with little trauma to surrounding soft tissue |
Requires profound knowledge of the complex anatomy of the posterolateral corner |
Protection of the peroneal nerve |
Advanced arthroscopic skills required |
Exact location of anatomic landmarks |
Increased risk of compartment syndrome in cases of accompanying tibial head fractures |
Precise tunnel placement and anatomic graft positioning |
Potentially limited by extremely thick soft tissue layer and extreme obesity |
No prolonged surgery time in comparison with open techniques |
|
Simultaneous treatment of concomitant injuries |
