Popis: | Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) is a complex problem frequently missed in the acute stage of knee injury and has challenged orthopaedic surgeons over the years. Even today, when surgical treatment for most ligamentous injuries to the knee have a reliable and reproducible outcome, PLRI remains underdiagnozed and poorly treated. Although PLRI can present as an isolated injury, this is rarity and in the majority of cases, it will form part of some type of multiplanar instability. |
