Collateral Ligament Reconstruction

Collateral ligament reconstruction requires the use of the patient's own tissue or cadaver tissue to reconstruct the injured ligaments on the medial or lateral side of the knee. Historically the decision process to reconstruct or repair the ligaments or tendons is dependent on the location of the injury (medial or lateral structures) and whether the injury is acute or chronic. When the decision is made to reconstruct, the procedure can be performed with minimal or extensive exposure depending on the desired reconstruction technique. The Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Set, pioneered by Arthrex and surgeon consultants has been specifically designed to improve the safety, accuracy and reproducibility of these complex multi-ligament reconstruction procedures.
