Four different reconstructions were assessed. The sMCL was reconstructed with either a single-bundle (SB) or a flattened hamstring graft aimed at better replicating the appearance of the native ligament. These reconstructions were tested with and without an additional AM reconstruction. Simulated laxity tests were performed at 0\u00b0, 30\u00b0, 60\u00b0, and 90\u00b0 of flexion: 10 N\u00b7m valgus rotation, 5 N\u00b7m internal and external rotation (ER), and an AM drawer test (combined 134-N anterior tibial drawer in 5 N\u00b7m ER). The primary outcome measures of this force-controlled setup were anterior tibial translation (ATT; in mm) and axial tibial rotation (in degrees).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sectioning the sMCL\/dMCL increased valgus rotation, ER, and ATT with the simulated AM draw test at all flexion angles. SB sMCL reconstruction was unable to restore ATT, valgus rotation, and ER at 30\u00b0, 60\u00b0, and 90\u00b0 of flexion to the intact state ( P &lt; .05). Flat MCL reconstruction restored valgus rotation at all flexion angles to the intact state ( P &gt; .05). ER was restored at all angles except at 90\u00b0, but ATT laxity in response to the AM drawer persisted. Addition of an AM reconstruction improved control of ATT relative to the intact state at all flexion angles ( P &gt; .05). Combined flat MCL and AM reconstruction restored knee kinematics closest to the intact state.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In a cadaveric model, AMRI resulting from an injured sMCL and dMCL complex could not be restored by an isolated SB sMCL reconstruction.
