In Vivo biomechanical evaluations of suture anchors for repairing grade 3 superficial medial collateral ligament injury in a porcine model.

The injured sMCLs biomechanically recovered after surgery using suture anchors even though the SNQs were higher than those with native contralateral sMCLs. For clinical relevance, sMCL repair of grade 3 sMCL injuries using suture anchors was both safe and successful with less tissue dissection.
