Single Versus Double-Bundle PCL Reconstruction: Scientific Rationale and Clinical Evidence.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The goal of this paper is to review the biomechanical and clinical rationale for single-bundle versus double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. The primary question is whether there has been demonstrated any clear biomechanical or clinical superiority of a double-bundle reconstruction over a single-bundle reconstruction.
RECENT FINDINGS: There is some recent evidence demonstrating biomechanical superiority of double-bundle versus single-bundle reconstruction; however, this is not definitive. Clinical superiority has not been clearly demonstrated as of yet. The primary question which served as the basis of this review remains unanswered. There is recent biomechanical data to suggest a potential benefit of double-bundle versus single-bundle reconstruction, but not all studies are in agreement. Furthermore, the possible biomechanical advantages have not yet been borne out in clinical studies. At this point, we cannot clearly recommend one technique versus another and the decision should be left to the treating surgeon.
