Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Improved diagnostic methods increase detection of posterior knee instabilities.
  • The natural history of isolated posterior cruciate ligament ruptures remains unclear.
  • Degenerative changes in the femoropatellar joint and medial compartment occur 10-15 years after conservative treatment for isolated ruptures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of posterior knee instabilities.
  • To discuss the role of secondary stabilizers in complex posterior instabilities.
  • To outline treatment considerations for posterior knee instability.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of posterior knee instability.
  • Analysis of natural history studies for posterior cruciate ligament ruptures.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluation of treatment options for posterior knee instability.

    • Main Results:

    • Isolated posterior cruciate ligament ruptures can lead to degenerative changes over 10-15 years.
    • Complex posterior instabilities involve secondary stabilizers like posterolateral structures and lateral collateral ligament.
    • Graft choices for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction include patellar ligament, quadriceps tendon, and hamstrings.

    Conclusions:

    • Treatment for posterior knee instability is tailored to the extent of the lesion and patient impairment.
    • Addressing secondary stabilizers is crucial in complex posterior instabilities.
    • Additional ligament stabilization may be required for posterolateral corner injuries.
