Abstrakt: A review article summarizing the existing literature on intraoperative injury to MCL during TKA, methods of fixation, repair, and the outcomes after these injuries. The options for increasing implant constraint and repair of the MCL injury are discussed with the potential indications for each. There is also a review of risk factors for MCL injury during TKA in order to help anticipate potential issues pre-operatively. The proper use of retractors during total knee replacement is also discussed with a focus on careful protection of the MCL during surgery.
