The clock-face method to identify the femoral posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) attachment has poor accuracy and reproducibility. Measurements of clinically relevant anatomic structures would provide more useful surgical guidance. The purpose of this study was to describe the attachments of the anterolateral and posteromedial bundles of the PCL relative to […]
A variety of techniques have been developed to improve clinical outcomes and objective knee stability following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Additional refinements in surgical and rehabilitation techniques are necessary for improvement of both subjective and objective outcomes.
Radiographic landmarks for medial knee attachment sites during anatomic repairs or reconstructions are unknown. If identified, they could assist in the preoperative evaluation of structure location and allow for postoperative assessment of reconstruction tunnel placement.
Stress radiography provides an objective tool to measure posterior knee instability. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability has been reported for the Telos device, but it has not been studied using the kneeling technique.
Understanding of posterior cuciate ligament (PCL) injuries of the knee has increased in large part because of a better understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the PCL and the posterolateral corner. More careful clinical evaluation of injury to these structures has resulted in earlier diagnosis and treatment, with new surgical […]
