Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation Using a Posterior Trans-septal Portal.


ABSTRACT: We describe a surgical technique for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation of the original PCL fibers using a posterior trans-septal portal approach. Using the transtibial technique and the posterior trans-septal portal approach allows good visualization of the tibial tunnel preparation, easy access to the tibial tunnel without neurovascular injury, and preservation of remnant PCL fibers. In the preparation of the tibial tunnel, we expose the PCL tibial attachment site completely, detach the posterior capsule from the PCL, and preserve the distal stump of the PCL without neurovascular injury. PCL reconstruction is performed in a way that preserves the remnant PCL fibers. We report on our surgical technique for arthroscopic PCL reconstruction preserving the original PCL fibers.
