Radiographic landmarks for tunnel positioning in posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions.
BACKGROUND Consistent radiographic guidelines for tunnel placement in single- or double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstructions are not well defined. Quantitative guidelines reporting the location of the individual PCL bundle attachments would aid in intraoperative tunnel placement and postoperative assessment of a PCL reconstruction. HYPOTHESIS Consistent and reproducible me...
متن کاملOpen tibial inlay versus arthroscopic transtibial posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions.
PURPOSE The optimal method of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is not known. The purpose was to evaluate the biomechanical and clinical literature comparing open tibial inlay and arthroscopic transtibial PCL reconstructions and determine which method of reconstruction is superior. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed on PubMed. Biomechanical and clinical...
متن کاملPosterior Cruciate Ligament: Current Concepts Review
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest and strongest ligament in the human knee, and the primary posteriorstabilizer. Recent anatomy and biomechanical studies have provided an improved understanding of PCL function. PCLinjuries are typically combined with other ligamentous, meniscal and chondral injuries. Stress radiography has becomean important and validated objective measure in...
متن کاملThe Posterior Cruciate Ligament
This PCL pushes the tibia forwards on the femur and hence, is responsible for maintaining congruency of the joint. By virtue of its position at the back of the joint, it also acts like a pivot point about which the rest of the knee moves. When the PCL is damaged, the tibia slides backwards on the femur and, in a complete tear, it moves about 12 mm in that direction. When this happens, the joint...
متن کاملAnterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knees
The floppy Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sign is a well-established arthroscopic and MRI indicator of Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) insufficiency. We explored the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such cases by retrospectively analyzing the management of a series of five consecutive cases of iatrogenic floppy ACL reconstructions which resulted in fixed posterior drawer. All patients ...
