Popis: The posterolateral corner (PLC) is a frequently misunderstood region of the knee. Multiple anatomic structures comprise the PLC, and all contribute in some way to posterior and external rotational stability of the knee joint. When not recognized or treatment is delayed, injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee can result in significant long-term morbidity for patients. For this reason, prompt recognition and appropriate treatment of PLC injuries are imperative.
