Double-bundle technique: endoscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using tibialis posterior allograft

Arthroscopy. 2004 Dec;20(10):1090-4. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2004.08.002.

Abstract

Abstract Recently, attention has been given to the double-bundle technique for treating the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-deficient knee. We present an arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using a double-bundle technique with 3-stranded tibialis posterior (TP) allograft that has not been described before. The anterolateral bundle of the PCL is reconstructed using 2-stranded TP allograft and the posteromedial bundle using 1-stranded TP allograft. Three-stranded TP allograft will be an alternative graft choice for PCL reconstruction.
