Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Achilles Tendon Allograft

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Achilles Tendon Allograft

Approaches to management of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and high-grade medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries remain controversial. Some studies suggest that with grade III MCL injuries, patients may benefit from concurrent MCL reconstruction to restore stability and prevent increas...
