- The MCL and anteromedial soft tissues on the tibia remain untouched.
No soft tissues are peeled off from the bone; everything is closed side-to-side, eliminating the need for soft tissues to heal back to the bone.
Main Advantages:
- The quadriceps remain fully intact, promoting rapid rehabilitation.
- No MCL or other medial soft tissue releases are necessary, enhancing the ability to restore native MCL tension intraoperatively.
- The MCL -tension- is directly palpable with your fingertip.
- Provides a priceless side view of the knee to assess sagittal kinematics, ensuring proper flexion gap balance.
- Excellent view and access to the joint.
