Anatomical Repair of Stener-like Lesion of Medial Collateral Ligament: A case Series and Technical Note

Medial collateral ligament tears usually will be treated through non-surgical methods, but, in some cases such as thosewith tears at the distal insertion where the reduction could be blocked by the pes anserine tendons (Stener-like lesion), surgerywill be performed. Here, we present a surgical technique in such cases. In this retrospective case series, we describesix patients diagnosed with Stener-like lesion based on clinical evaluation and imaging results. In the one-year follow-upvisit, there was no complaining of pain or joint instability and full range of motion and negative valgus stress test werereported in all cases. The results showed this surgical technique is a useful and safe treatment approach in such cases.
