Résumé
The posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee was regarded as the "dark side" of the knee because of limited understanding of its anatomy and biomechanics and because of poor outcomes after injuries to PLC structures. These injuries rarely occur in isolation, with 28% reported as isolated PLC injuries. Nonoperative treatment of these injuries has led to persistent instability, development of early osteoarthritis, and poor outcomes. Several techniques for reconstruction of the PLC have been described, and all are reported to improve outcomes. Biomechanically validated anatomic reconstructions are preferred because they restore native knee kinematics and improve clinical outcomes without over-constraining the knee.
