The Effect of Implant Constraint and Ligament Repair on Compartment Balancing After Medial Collateral Ligament Injury in TKA
This cadaveric study demonstrates that primary MCL repair with VVC component was the best for minimizing the deficit after an MCL injury and provided the highest RI. MCL repair with PS component and no MCL repair with VVC component were less effective reconstructive choices. This study supports the combination of a simple MCL repair with VVC component as the most stable reconstructive option following an intraoperative MCL injury.
