Purpose This meta-analysis evaluated the benefits of single-bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) in terms of clinical outcomes. Methods Five electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published until September 2016. Clinical outcomes of both techniques were evaluated using Lysholm knee function scores, Tegne...

background: tibial avulsion fractures of the posterior cruciate ligament are not infrequent. however, controversies exist between the fixation of the fragments and their reconstruction in the cases with small bony fragments. this prospective study was undertaken to study the results after fixation of the fragments by the malleolar screw and the pull through suture techniques.   methods: from ju...

Posterior wall blowout is an important potential source of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failures that can be avoided if surgeons adhere to proper technique and are vigilant in confirming appropriate femoral tunnel placement. This article reviews techniques for avoidance, recognition, and salvage of posterior wall blowouts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery.

Abstract Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury and more than 100,000 ACL reconstruction procedures are performed in the United States every year. Although widely accepted and investigated, ACL reconstruction still continues to evolve and many technical issues are under debate. They mainly include: 1) graft selection, 2) surgical technique (double versus single bundle)...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical results of 3 posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques according to the time from injury to surgery and remnant PCL status and to evaluate the efficiency of each technique. METHODS The records of 89 patients who underwent primary PCL reconstructions with a posterolateral corner sling were analyzed retrospectiv...

A total of 108 patients with unilateral instability of the knee, associated with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, was prospectively randomised for arthroscopic single- or double-bundle reconstruction of the ligament using hamstring tendons. The same post-operative rehabilitation protocol was used for all. The patients were followed up for a mean of 32 months (24 to 36). We measured th...
