Abstract

Abstract:

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury is rare in total knee arthroplasty, but this complication is indeed one of the most serious complications associated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and is often overlooked by doctors. The integrity of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is essential for normal knee function, the maintenance of valgus stress stability and soft tissue balance after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). If MCL damage is overlooked and no special treatment is made for MCL injury, it may result in accelerated polyethylene liner wear and have influence on the final survival rate of the prosthesis. This shows that it is very important to identify and adopt appropriate treatment in time. This article reviewed on the characteristics of MCL injury during TKA, high-risk factors, causes of injury, identification methods and treatment methods.
