Failure to reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament or posterior cruciate ligament at the time of posterolateral corner (PLC) repair or reconstruction dramatically increases the likelihood of PLC failure. Uncorrected varus malalignment places extensive tension on a PLC reconstruction and is a well recognized cause of failure. Valgus malalignment and medial collateral ligament reconstruction are not recognized means of failure.
