title: New technique for chronic posterolateral instability of the knee: posterolateral reconstruction using the tibialis posterior tendon allograft.
abstract: Posterolateral instability of the knee is known as one of the most challenging injuries. Although several procedures have been designed for the posterolateral instability, there is no gold standard management as yet. We present a technique for posterolateral instability of the knee using a tibialis posterior tendon allograft, which reconstructs the lateral collateral ligament and popliteal tendon with its attachment to the tibia. This can correct not only varus, but also external rotary instability.
