Reconstruction of the Popliteomeniscal Fascicles for Treatment of Recurrent Subluxation of the Lateral Meniscus
2017
Abstract Recurrent
subluxationof the
lateral meniscusis characterized by episodes of mechanical locking of the knee joint. To completely preclude the posterior segment of the
lateral meniscusfrom undergoing anterior dislocation during deep knee flexion, the structures to which it is attached need to be relatively taut. The posterosuperior popliteomeniscal
fascicleretains its tension during deep knee flexion; therefore, reconstruction of the posterosuperior and anteroinferior popliteomeniscal
fascicleswas performed with an autograft harvested from the iliotibial band. This technique provides stabilization of the posterior segment of the
lateral meniscusduring deep knee flexion without interfering with the normal movement of the
lateral meniscusthroughout the
rangeof
motionof the knee joint.
