Posterolateral Knee Reconstruction FAQ's
Posterolateral knee reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at repairing or reconstructing the structures in the posterolateral corner of the knee, which may include the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), the popliteus tendon, and other ligaments in the area.
The surgical technique for posterolateral knee reconstruction varies depending on the specific injuries and the surgeon’s approach. It typically involves repairing or reconstructing damaged ligaments and tendons, often using grafts to restore stability to the knee.
Recovery from posterolateral knee reconstruction can be extensive. It often includes a period of non-weight-bearing on the operated leg, followed by a gradual return to weight-bearing and physical therapy. Full recovery may take several months.
