【 摘 要 】

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament, and an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is the most frequently associated injury after an MCL lesion.1–4 Successful outcomes after nonsurgical treatment of isolated MCL injuries5 have led many surgeons to advocate non-surgical treatment for the MCL in combined ACL and MCL injuries, with early (and therefore protected) or delayed ACL reconstruction (after the MCL has healed). However, MCL deficiency, even partial, has been reported to increase the forces on the ACL graft, and surgical intervention to re-establish the stabilizing properties of the MCL may benefit the healing of both the ACL graft and the MCL and overall knee stability.
