Introduction. Rupture of lateral collateral ligament of the knee is most often joined with other ligament ruptures. Isolated rupture of this ligament is rare and there are few papers about treatment options and results. Here we reported a case of isolated lateral collateral ligament rupture and the treatment outcome. Case report. A patient, 22 years old male, injured his left knee while playing American football. While landing on the outstretched left leg, he felt a sudden pain in his knee. The patient could not continue the competition. Initial orthopedic examination revealed lateral opening and further diagnostic procedure (magnetic resonance imaging) revealed isolated grade III rupture of lateral collateral ligament with avulsion fracture of the fibular head, and distension of anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. Patient was surgically treated with metal sutures passed through conjoined tendon and proximal fibula. Postoperatively patient worn above knee cast for 6 weeks and after that he was included in rehabilitation. Three and six years after this injury, the patient has still been professional football player with no symptoms and no clinical instability of the knee despite radiological and computed tomography verified pseudoarthrosis of the fractured fibular head fragment. Conclusion. Early diagnostic and absence of additional injuries of the knee leads to a faster and full functional recovery of patients with isolated avulsion fracture of the fibular head, while surgical treatment provides knee stability with no residual ligament instability during sports activities.

Bone/lateral collateral ligament/bone preparations were tested and structural mechanical properties compared to properties of cranial cruciate ligament in 15 dogs. The lateral collateral ligament has sufficient stiffness to provide stifle joint stability and strength to resist acute overload following fibular head transposition.

Introduction: Lateral collateral ligament calcification is a rare cause of knee pain. There are only a handful of case reports, and the findings are usually incidental and asymptomatic. The exact mechanism for calcific deposit remains unclear. We present a case of symptomatic calcification within the lateral collateral ligament treated by surgical enucleation. Case presentation: A 52-year-old active woman presented with complaints of pain over the lateral aspect of the left knee of 6 months’ duration. Her pain was severe, aggravated on descending stairs but relieved on rest. Clinical examination revealed tenderness over the lateral aspect of the knee joint. Standard standing anterior-posterior radiograph of the left knee revealed a homogenous dense opacity adjacent to the lateral femoral condyle. Conclusion: Calcification within the lateral collateral ligament is rare and treatment is determined by whether the patient is symptomatic or not. If symptoms of the patient cannot be alleviated with a conservative approach, we recommend a surgical enucleation of the calcification, which in our case had good results.

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture is a rare injury and occurs mainly in young patients. The development of arthroscopic techniques and fixation methods has improved the treatment of this entity. This report describes a modified arthroscopic suture fixation of a small tibial avulsion fracture of the PCL. A 17-year-old male, injured in a motorcycle crash, was admitted to the Emergency Department and diagnosed with left knee PCL tibial avulsion fracture, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) femoral avulsion fracture, and patella fracture. The PCL was fixed arthroscopically using a Knee Scorpion and two SutureTapes (Arthrex, Munich-Germany) through of an interlaced configuration at the base of the fragment using a transseptal approach and fixed distally over a cortical button on the anterior cortex. The LCL was repaired with two cannulated screws by a percutaneous approach. At 1 year of follow-up, the fragment was healed with tibiofemoral congruence, and the knee was stable with complete range of motion. The Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (TLKSS) was 92.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to report the outcome in a 6-year-old male English Setter dog that suffered a combination of divergent elbow dislocation and open distal ulnar fracture. This study is a case report. After surgical reduction in the elbow luxation, the dog was treated with the TightRope fixation system used as replacement of the lateral collateral ligament, a radioulnar positional screw, and external skeletal fixation. Removal of all implants was performed 3 months postoperatively. The 6-month follow-up visit found the dog without lameness, displaying normal activity, and with normal elbow range of motion and normal Campbell's test. Successful surgical management was achieved with good long-term results using TightRope, a positional screw, and an external skeletal fixator.
