Advances in posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Instr Course Lect. 2015:64:543-54.

Abstract

Current advances in posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have led to excellent clinical and functional outcomes. It is helpful to review anatomy, cadaver sectioning studies, biomechanical studies, clinical outcome data, and novel surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, including all-inside reconstructions. Surgeons also should be aware of current controversies regarding transtibial versus inlay, autograft versus allograft, and single-bundle versus double-bundle reconstructions.
