Posterolateral instability of the knee joint

The posterolateral corner of the knee is composed of a multilayered complex of ligamentous, musculotendinous, and capsular structures, which interact in a synergistic stabilizing manner with the central structures, particularly the posterior cruciate ligament. Injuries of the posterolateral corner are generally accompanied by rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament. Depending on the injured structures, injuries of the posterolateral corner result in posterolateral rotational instability alone (Fanelli A) or with lateral instability (Fanelli B/C). For rotational instability alone, isolated popliteus bypass is an effective procedure; with concomitant lateral instability in flexion, additional stabilization of the lateral collateral ligament is required. Most of the various available techniques are described as open reconstruction procedures. In recent years, arthroscopic techniques for posterolateral reconstruction have also been successfully developed.
