Posterior cruciate ligament injuries and arthroscopic reconstruction method
Abstract
Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a technically demanding procedure. However, not all patients with PCL injury require reconstruction. We reconstruct the PCL, when there is significant posterior instability or associated ligamentous injury. Bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft or allograft or Achilles tendon allograft can be used for PCL reconstruction. Here we outline our arthroscopic technique for reconstruction. Posterior cruciate ligament-specific drill guides and the use of accessory arthroscopy portals assist in reconstruction. Fluoroscopic guidance is useful in tibial tunnel placement. An isometer is used to determine the correct femoral tunnel placement. The graft passage is eased by the use of a cerclage wire as a pulley. Finally, the graft is fixed in full extension. Attention to the technical surgical details of PCL reconstruction will increase the probability of success.
