Collateral Ligament Tear

Collateral ligament tears and most knee ligament injuries involve a single ligament, but when a significant high energy force is placed on the knee, multiple ligaments can be affected. Depending on the location (medial or lateral) of the collateral ligament tear and whether the injury is acute or chronic the decision to repair or reconstruct can be confirmed through a careful clinical exam. The Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Set pioneered by Arthrex and surgeon consultants has been specifically designed to improve the safety, accuracy, and reproducibility for when the decision is made to repair and/or reconstruct these injuries around the outside of the knee.
