Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Knee Biomechanics

Background:

  • Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries often involve complex patterns, including isolated or combined posterolateral and posteromedial laxity.
  • Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for restoring knee function and preventing long-term disability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize PCL injuries and evaluate diagnostic methods.
  • To assess the efficacy of surgical reconstruction for recurrent posterior knee laxity.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical treatment of 112 patients with recurrent posterior knee laxity.
  • Diagnostic tools included clinical examination, MRI, Telos™ stress radiography, KT-1000 measurements, and IKDC questionnaires.
  • Follow-up averaged 4.5 years.

Main Results:

  • Posterior laxity patterns varied, with posterior posterolateral laxity being most common (47.3%).
  • Mean posterior tibial translation improved from 13.5 mm to 4.4 mm post-surgery.
  • Associated meniscal/cartilage injuries occurred in 71.4% of patients, with improved IKDC scores from 74.5 to 87.9.

Conclusions:

  • One-stage PCL reconstruction using quadriceps grafts and specific techniques for posteromedial-posterolateral lesions effectively restores knee stability.
  • A defined surgical algorithm aids in accurate clinical management and treatment of complex PCL injuries.
