Summary

The posterolateral corner (PLC) is known as the "dark side of the knee" due to its complex and variable anatomy.Its stability is provided by capsular and non-capsular structures that function as static and dynamic stabilizers.

The structures of the PLC are primarily responsible for resisting varus angulation and external tibial rotation. They also act as secondary stabilizers, in conjunction with the cruciate ligaments, to prevent anterior and posterior translation during the early phase of flexion (0°-30°) PLC injures are relatively uncommon, occurring in approximately 16% of all knee injuries. They are rarely seen in isolation, as the majority is associated with concomitant cruciate ligament tears, as well as meniscal tears and injuries to the medial ligamentous structure.

Conditions

Interventions

RADIATION

MRI

The study will be done on 1.5T MR unit (Siemens) and 1.5T MR unit (Philips) at Assuit University Hospital, or 1.5T MR unit (G.E.) at Eman General Hospital. * The field of view varied between 14 cm and 16 cm, and slice thickness varied between 3 and 4 mm, with 0.5 mm intersection gap. * Imaging sequences included sagittal PD proton density, T2 and STIR, axial PD, coronal STIR and coronal oblique.
