Resumen

La inestabilidad crónica posterolateral de rodilla continúa siendo un tema desafiante desde la evaluación clínica hasta la resolución definitiva. La comprensión de la anatomía, biomecánica articular y las adaptaciones evolutivas de la rodilla para su complejo funcionamiento, son esenciales para el razonamiento diagnóstico y terapéutico de esas lesiones.

Abstract

Chronic posterolateral knee instability continues to be a challenging issue from clinical evaluation to final resolution. The understanding of anatomy, joint biomechanics and evolutionary adaptations of the knee for its complex functioning are essential for the diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning of these injuries.

Palabras Clave
