Abstract:
Because of the factors such as degeneration or congenital dysplasia which leads to medial tibiofemoral compartment tightness, the arthroscopic surgery of this part might have limited vision and narrow operating space, which causes missed diagnosis and iatrogenic injury.Medial collateral ligament ( MCL) release technique is a simple, effective and safe procedure.By releasing part of the ligament fiber, this operation can effectively expand the visual field and operation space.avoiding the risk of iatrogenic injury of cartilage and missed diagnosis.MCL release technique is an effective method to solve the arthroscopic examination and endoscopic operation for medial compartment tightness of the knee joint.This article reviewed the technique of MCL release.
