Arthroscopic Primary Repair of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament

Abstract The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is one of the four major stabilizers knee joint and functions as primary restraint to tibial translation. PCL tears rarely occur in isolation most commonly presents setting multiligamentous injuries. Several treatment strategies for these injuries have been proposed over last decades, including reconstruction repair. Arthroscopic repair has potential preserve native tissue using a more minimally invasive approach, thereby avoiding donor-site morbidity allowing early mobilization. While arthroscopic certainly not an effective surgical approach all patients, this procedure may be reasonable less morbid alternative selected patients treated proximal or distal avulsion tears, with low failure rates, good stability, excellent subjective outcomes. indications, techniques, postoperative management, outcomes will discussed review.
