Supine Lobenhoffer Approach Optimizes PCL Reconstruction with Tibial Inlay in Knee Dislocations: A Case Report

JBJS Case Connector, Volume 13, No. 3, Article e23.00071, Year 2023

Case:A 47-year-old man suffered a knee dislocation while skiing with associated damage to the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, medial collateral, and medial patellofemoral ligaments. The patient underwent a multiple-ligament knee reconstruction using the supine Lobenhoffer approach, which resulted in remarkable outcomes that persisted throughout the 56-month follow-up period.Conclusion:The utilization of this approach can prevent inappropriate graft tension and iatrogenic damage, reduce surgical time, and minimize airway complications by eliminating the need for the prone position. Optimizing these factors enhances the patient's chances for long-term outcomes; thus, surgeons should consider this approach in managing multiple-ligament knee injuries.
