lüll Posterolateral corner injuries of the knee Frank JB; Youm T; Meislin RJ; Rokito ASBull NYU Hosp Jt Dis 2007[]; 65 (2): 106-14The posterolateral region of the knee is an anatomically complex area that plays an important role in the stabilization of the knee relative to specific force vectors at low angles of knee flexion. A renewed interest in this region and advanced biomechanical studies have brought additional understanding of both the anatomy and the function of posterolateral structures in knee stabilization and kinematics. Through sectioning and loading studies, the posterolateral corner has been shown to play a role in the prevention of varus angulation, external rotation, and posterior translation. The potential for long-term disability from these injuries may be related to increased articular pressure and chondral degeneration. The failure of the reconstruction of cruciate ligaments may be due to unrecognized or untreated posterolateral corner injuries. Various methods of repair and reconstruction have been described and new research is yielding superior results from reconstruction of this region.|Biomechanical Phenomena[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Joint Instability/surgery[MESH]|Knee Injuries/diagnosis/physiopathology/*surgery[MESH]|Ligaments, Articular/injuries/physiopathology[MESH]|Physical Examination[MESH]|Plastic Surgery Procedures[MESH]|Rotation[MESH] |
