Instabilty post TKR due to MCL injury

Repeated falls 5 monthspost TKR with mcl laxity and mild recuravtum n a Mobile bearing knee.
Delayd  Progreesive ligamentous laxity of MCL  has been reported with LCS knees in th e past. Was the falls the issue or the ligament the initial trigger is unknown. There was also a hint of ? malrotation with no stiffness

Gross mcl laxity is best adddrssed by a good RHK joint to get 20 to 30 years. Varus/valgus constraints do better with LCL injuries and is less predictable with mcl injuries including repair in TKR
