Abstract During knee arthroscopy, clear vision of the intra-articular structures is essential. Two techniques have been described to aid in visualization by releasing the medial collateral ligament (MCL). The outside-in technique remains the most widely used, but injury to the saphenous nerve is one of the potential risks when performing this technique. On the other hand, the inside-out techniques for releasing the deep MCL (dMCL) tend to be safer since the procedure was done under direct visualization through an anteromedial portal. This study was a retrospective case series of 22 patients who underwent the dMCL release using an inside-out technique. The outcomes reported are medial joint space opening, neurovascular injury, and residual morbidities such as pain and valgus knee instability after the procedure.
