Combined injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee results in posterolateral rotatory instability. The detailed anatomy and kinematics of the PCL is well described in the literature as well as the anatomy of the PLC; however, the detailed kinematics of the posterolateral corner ligaments and tendons are not well understood. This information on the posterolateral corner is important for developing a strategy for accurate anatomical reconstructions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify the detailed kinematics of the posterolateral corner of the knee ligaments and tendons.
