The interaction between valgus malalignment and the forces on a medial collateral ligament reconstruction – a biomechanical study
Objectives: Failure after medial collateral ligament reconstructions (MCLR) has been suggested to be associated with valgus malalignment. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the forces on a MCLR relative to the valgus alignment of the knee. Methods: Eight fresh-frozen human cadaveric knees [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
