    AbstractInjuries of the posteromedial corner of the knee are relatively common. These can be isolated or combined with other ligament lesions. In some cases the treatment of postero-medial corner injuries is controversial. After a brief description of the anatomy and biomechanics of the medial side of the knee, this paper reviews the indications for isolated and multiligamentous medial/posteromedial corner injuries both in the acute and in the chronic setting. In addition, the most common surgical techniques for repair and reconstruction are described in addition to outcomes based upon a review of the literature.
