Abstract
Injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee present with variable injury patterns that have produced a number of reconstructive procedures in the literature. The present paper describes an all-arthroscopic technique that anatomically reconstructs the popliteofibular ligament (PFL) using either a semitendinosus autograft or an anterior tibialis allograft. During the surgery, the fibular insertion site as well as the distal portion of PFL is feasible to be identified under arthroscopy without any additional skin incision. Level of evidence V.Keywords: All-arthroscopic technique; Anatomical reconstruction; Distal portion of PFL; Fibular insertion site; Popliteofibular ligament
