Twenty-three patients who have had a Macintosh type of fasciodesis for anterolateral rotary instability of the knee have been studied. Overall 73% were improved by this procedure; of those whose only instability was when turning on the run, 90% improved. These results have been compared with a series of 51 patients who had a pes anserinus transfer for anteromedial instability (D'Arcy 1978). It is suggested that both static and dynamic reconstructions have a place in the management of knee instability resulting from anterior cruciate injury.

Instability is not necessarily determined by knee laxity, yet passive clinical tests are included in the examination which determines the functional status of the knee. The current arthrokinematic findings and validated clinical tests support the definition of excessive sagittal plane and frontal-plane laxity; however it is unknown if these findings in a single plane predict rotary instability of the knee.

Combined Injuries

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) provides primary restraint to posterior tibial translation (1). Knee injuries involving only the PCL usually result in minimal disability, and are commonly treated non-surgically (2). However, combined injuries of the PCL and the posterior lateral structures (PLS) in the knee can result in considerable abnormal posterior laxity and posterolateral rotary instability leading to rapid cartilage degeneration (3). There is consensus that, in most cases, knees with this combined injury require surgical reconstruction.
