LCL Reconstruction:

Indications

  1. Grade III Tears: Complete tears of the LCL causing significant lateral knee instability.
  2. Chronic Instability: Ongoing instability of the lateral aspect of the knee despite conservative measures.
  3. Failed Conservative Management: Lack of improvement after adequate non-surgical treatment.
  4. Complex Injuries: Associated injuries to other knee structures, such as the ACL, PCL, or posterolateral corner, necessitating a combined approach.
  5. Recurrent LCL Injuries: Repeated LCL tears leading to functional impairment.

Post-Operative Care:

Post-Operative Care

    1. Immobilization:
      • The knee is immobilized in a brace to protect the repair.
    2. Weight-Bearing:
      • Initially limited weight-bearing, progressing based on the surgeon’s guidance.
    3. Physical Therapy:
      • Early stages focus on gentle range of motion exercises.
      • Gradual progression to strength training, focusing on the muscles supporting the knee.
      • Functional and proprioceptive training is incorporated as healing progresses.

4. Follow-Up:

    • Regular follow-up visits to monitor the healing process, adjust the rehabilitation plan, and address any complications.

Complications:

  • Infection
  • Graft failure or stretching
  • Stiffness and loss of motion
  • Persistent instability
  • Nerve or blood vessel damage
