1 Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner of the Knee With Achilles Tendon Allograft 
Scott A. Kuzma, M.D., Roxanne M. Chow, M.D., William M. Engasser, B.A., Michael J. Stuart, M.D., Bruce A. Levy, M.D.  Arthroscopy Techniques  Volume 3, Issue 3, Pages e393-e398 (June 2014) DOI: /j.eats Copyright © 2014 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A) Pictorial representation of our single–Achilles tendon allograft PLC reconstruction technique depicting the femoral and transfibular tunnel placement and final construct, including fixation with interference screws in the femoral tunnels and (B) posterolateral capsular shift and imbrication to the graft construct.

3 Fig 2 Curvilinear skin incision for PLC reconstruction of left knee. The patient is supine. Shown in the photograph are the fibular head (rightward-pointing arrow), joint line (downward-pointing arrow), and lateral epicondyle (upward-pointing arrow).
