Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Main arm of the study
Medial knee instabilities will be addressed in this arm. Due to the fact that isolated injury of medial stabilizers of the knees is very rare, included will be patients with D concomitant ACL QTB reconstruction and MCL reconstruction. Any accompanying intraarticular injuries such as meniscal lesions will be addressed as well. 17 patients will be included in this arm - this number was calculated and rounded up as a mean of number patients from studies of Alm et al. 2021 (17 patients in ACLR+MCLR group), Lee et al. 2020 (10 patients in ACLR+MCLR group), Kitamura et al. 2013 (16 patients in ACLR+MCLR group), LaPrade et al. 2012 (8 patients in ACLR+MCLR group), Lind et al. 2009 (34 patients in ACLR+MCLR group) and Kim et al. 2008 (12 patients in ACLR+MCLR group). All above referenced studies apart from the study of LaPrade et al. were retrospective.
