Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Current Concepts Review.
Bulletin of the Hospital for Joint Diseases 2024 March
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are a rare form of knee injury often seen in the setting of high energy polytraumas; however, these injuries can occur in isolation as well. Often, the posterolateral corner (PLC) is involved, which imparts further posterior translational and rotational instability to these injuries. While non-operative management is certainly a reliable option for low grade isolated PCL tears, high grade injuries with concomitant PLC involvement, additional intra-articular pathologies requiring operative management, multiligamentous injuries, or patients who have failed non-operative management require PCL repair or reconstruction. The current review focuses on the many facets of PCL reconstruction, including single versus double bundle reconstruction, tibial slope implications, graft selection, multiligamentous injury considerations, tunnel management, and onlay versus inlay tibial footprint creation. We conclude with a proposed algorithm in the management of this injury.
