Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Knee Ligament Reconstruction

Background:

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is crucial for knee stability.
PCL injuries often require surgical reconstruction for optimal outcomes.
Arthroscopic techniques offer minimally invasive options for PCL repair.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the arthroscopic transtibial tunnel surgical technique for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction.
To outline the critical technical principles for successful PCL reconstruction.

Main Methods:

Arthroscopic transtibial tunnel approach for PCL reconstruction.
Single- and double-bundle techniques discussed.
Focus on accurate tunnel placement and graft fixation.

Main Results:

Adherence to technical principles leads to successful PCL reconstruction.
Success validated by stress radiography, arthrometry, and patient-reported outcomes.
High patient satisfaction reported with the described technique.

Conclusions:

The arthroscopic transtibial tunnel technique is effective for PCL reconstruction.
Meticulous attention to surgical details ensures favorable patient outcomes.
Comprehensive rehabilitation is essential for restoring knee function post-PCL surgery.
