All-arthroscopic Anatomic Repair of an Avulsed Popliteus Tendon in a Multiple Ligament–injured Knee | Orthopedics

Conclusion

All-arthroscopic repair of an avulsed popliteus tendon has multiple uses. It can be performed in the case of an isolated avulsion or when the popliteus tendon is the only injured posterolateral structure with a mild rotatory instability. This technique may, in some cases, be able to eliminate the need for an open incision and may decrease the risk of complications associated with capsulotomy in open procedures.
