TY  - CHAP
AB  - The medial and posteromedial aspect of the knee has been studied much less than the posterolateral aspect. The underling reason for that relates to the greater healing potential of the medial collateral ligament (MCL), which means that medial injuries are often treated conservatively, so there has been less pressure to develop sophisticated methods to treat these structures surgically. A further contributor to this situation is the difference in the mechanical environment, which means that injuries may have differing impacts on function. However, because the clinician is always alert to the possibility of damage to the posterolateral structures, it may be the case that medial side injuries are not looked for, or that changes in rotational laxity are misdiagnosed.
