Current advances in posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have led to excellent clinical and functional outcomes. It is helpful to review anatomy, cadaver sectioning studies, biomechanical studies, clinical outcome data, and novel surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, including all-inside reconstructions. Surgeons also should be aware of current controversies ...

BACKGROUND Anatomic double-bundle reconstruction has been thought to better simulate the anterior cruciate ligament anatomy. It is, however, a technically challenging procedure, associated with longer operation time and higher cost. HYPOTHESIS Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a single femoral and tibial tunnel can closely reproduce intact knee kinematics. STUDY ...

BACKGROUND Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) ruptures are common sports injuries. One of the key controversies in PCL reconstruction is whether double-bundle reconstruction provides biomechanical and clinical outcomes superior to single-bundle reconstruction. METHODS We performed a comprehensive search in multiple databases to evaluate the advantages of single-bundle or double bundle reconstr...

Background: Some reports showed, no clear difference in treatment outcome between the single-bundle and double-bundle reconstruction techniques for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury. Using patientbased QOL evaluation scale SF-36, we evaluated postoperative compared two techniques.

  The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is composed of two bundles, which work together to provide both antero-posterior and rotatory stability of the knee. Understanding the anatomy and function of the ACL plays a key role in management of patients with ACL injury. Anatomic ACL reconstruction aims to restore the function of the native ACL. Femoral and tibial tunnels should be placed in their an...

BACKGROUND Anatomical reconstruction techniques that can restore normal joint kinematics without increasing surgical complications could potentially improve clinical outcomes and help manage anterior cruciate ligament injuries more efficiently. HYPOTHESIS Single-tunnel double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with anatomical placement of hamstring tendon graft can more closely ...

BACKGROUND While single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction reduces anterior-posterior laxity, studies have demonstrated residual rotational instability. Improved pivot-shift results have been shown with the double-bundle graft; however, no study has compared rotational laxity outcome of these surgical techniques in vivo under quantified, isolated torsional loading. HYPOTHESIS Th...
