Presented is a three to eight year follow up of reefing of the posterior cruciate in 20 cases, and reconstruction of the posterior cruciate with a patellar tendon, quadriceps tendon flap as a "reversed Jones' procedure" in 10 cases. Using the reefing procedure, there were six excellent results, ten acceptable, and four poor results. The reconstruction resulted in no excellent results, six accep...

Introduction he frequency of knee arthroscopy involving the posterior compartments has increased with recent advances in arthroscopic technique and instrumentation. Total arthroscopic synovectomy, arthroscopic repair or reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament, all-inside repair of the posterior horn of the meniscus, and removal of loose bodies or tumors posterior to the posterior cruc...

Background: Revision posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) is challenging, especially in existing semi-anatomic tunnels, whereas there an increased risk of overlapping with a new positioned anatomic tunnel.

BACKGROUND Ligament restraints to terminal knee extension are poorly understood. HYPOTHESES (1) As with other motions of the knee, genu recurvatum is limited primarily by a named, identifiable structure. (2) As the largest static structure of the posterior knee, the oblique popliteal ligament is uniquely suited to act as a checkrein to knee hyperextension. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laborator...

Meniscal injury has been well documented in association with injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of anterior cruciate ligament transection and reconstruction on meniscal strain. Four differential variable reluctance transducer strain gauges were placed in the medial and lateral menisci of nine cadaveric knees. Each specimen was mounted ...

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are rare, but they often require reconstruction, especially in the setting of combined ligamentous knee injury. Single-bundle transtibial PCL reconstruction is 1 technique for restoring this important ligament. However, this procedure is technically demanding, and complications can occur if poor techniques are used. This article analyzes the potential ...
