Matthieu Ollivier asks Andy Williams about one of his current areas of focus: the medial collateral ligament (MCL). They explore why MCL laxity increases the risk of ACL re-rupture, and why surgical treatment of the MCL – especially in athletic patients – is becoming increasingly important. A must-watch for knee surgeons seeking to optimize outcomes.
