Let me explain: You said yourself (inherent ligaments laxity) so this the tissue we have to work with so the result are variable and some time we have to go for bone block, if the reconstruction failed.

Depends on Surgeon: Patients with underlying laxity have the best chance at success with a global approach rather than just focusing on one area of the joint.
