Fig 2 — Achilles allograft preparation for use as the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) and posterior oblique ligament (POL). (A) An Achilles tendon allograft (JRF Ortho) is thawed and (B) prepared as 2 separate 11 × 25-mm bone plugs to be used on the femoral side to reconstruct the sMCL and POL. (C) The bone plug of the allograft is shaped in a cylindrical fashion to fit inside the femoral tunnels. (D) Each Achilles tendon allograft is whipstitched to form a strong construct, a single hole is drilled in each bone block, and a passing suture is passed through the bone plug to help with graft passing later in the procedure.
