• TITLE: Tendon Allograft for Repair of the Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee: A Case Report

  ABSTRACT: In the rare cases with serious damage of the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) of the knee requiring surgical treatment, ligament remnants may be inadequate for a good repair. In such cases, reconstruction should be performed and technical options may be limited. We used an Achilles tendon allograft and applied it using the Pulvertaft weave technique for tendon repair. We found no previous reports of allograft application for MCL repair though the technique has been extensively used for Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction.
