Acute Medial Collateral Ligament With Postero-Medial Complex Repair in Multiligament Knee Injuries Using a Novel “Double Shoelace Repair” Technique: 10-Year Clinical and Functional Outcomes

The double shoelace technique provides dependable restoration of medial stability and excellent long-term function in acute MCL + PMC injuries associated with MLKIs, with high return-to-sport rates and low complication rates. Further comparative studies are needed to refine indications.
