Recognition and treatment of injuries to the posterolateral (PLC) corner of the knee have increased in recent decades. Despite advancements in surgical technique, complications can occur in up to 20% of PLC reconstructions. Lateralization of the fibular tunnel during drilling is a common intraoperative pitfall and can lead to cortical breach or fibular head fracture after graft tensioning. Compression staples have been increasingly used for fracture fixation in the hand, foot, and ankle. Because of its pseudo-elastic properties, insertion of a low-profile, compressive Nitinol staple could serve as an intraoperative salvage technique to reinforce and prevent failure through a thin lateral cortex of the fibular head. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a reproducible technique for the implementation of a Nitinol staple for reinforcement of a lateralized fibular tunnel in posterolateral corner reconstruction.
