Posterolateral Intra-/Extra-articular Tenodesis Technique: A Technique for Lateral Tenodesis of the Knee

Abstract

Posterolateral tenodesis is necessary for restoring biomechanics in posterolateral instability of the knee. We propose a technique that provides the tenodesis effect to both intra- and extra-articular aspects of the knee. We call it the posterolateral intra-/extra-articular tenodesis technique, which is a technique for posterolateral reconstruction. This minimally invasive technique is particularly helpful in patients with high-grade posterolateral corner injury with the advantage of precise placement of the graft.
