Abstract

Techniques for reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears are rapidly evolving. One problem with current techniques is that laxity may develop early in the postoperative period, leading to relapsed posterior translation of the tibia. Therefore, maintaining tibial reduction during graft incorporation is a target for improvement. We describe using an internal splint to optimize the 4-tunnel, double-bundle allograft PCL reconstruction.<br /> (© 2020 Published by Elsevier on behalf of the Arthroscopy Association of North America.)
