Compared with anterior cruciate ligament injuries, posterior cruciate ligament injuries are a rare event. The mechanisms are predictable and a thorough physical examination is mandatory to rule out or define combined injury patterns. Stress radiography and magnetic resonance imaging studies are very helpful adjuncts. Acute and chronic injuries require slightly different approaches. As our under...

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. Few cases were published no consensus regarding the optimal operative technique. Indications: A 22-year-old male patient, failed PCLR hamstring autograft 2020 due to improper tun...

Injury to the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint is believed to be uncommon except in association with severe general ligament rupture and dislocation of the knee joint. The isolated injury has been described in the literature, however, in particular by Abbott, Saunders, Bost and Anderson (1944), though no large series has been reported. This paper is based on seventeen cases seen fr...

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...
