[A Novel All-arthroscopic PCL Tibial Inlay Reconstruction]
Objective:
To design new apparatus and develop relative surgical procedures for all-arthroscopic tibial inlay PCL reconstruction.
Methods:
The new apparatus consisting of three main components for total arthroscopic tibial inlay were designed and manufactured, and the relative surgical procedures were experimented on 6 cadaveric knees.
Results:
The apparatus for tibial sloting including three components was designed and manufactured successfully, which could be used easily. The surgical procedures were proved to be feasible, which could be performed within a short time (mean, 78.5 min). The graft fixation was proved to be firm enough by mechanical tests. Image examination (X ray, CT and MRI) confirmed that the location of implants was appropriate.
Conclusion:
The newly designed apparatus and surgical procedures for all-arthroscopic tibial inlay seems feasible and useful.
