The dMCL and POL are both important secondary stabilizers to posteromedial translation in the PCL-deficient knee, with alternating roles depending on flexion angle. Thus, in a PCL-deficient knee, concomitant injuries to either the POL or dMCL should be addressed with the aim of reducing the risk of PCL reconstruction failure.
