Introduction:
Tears of the posterior cruciate ligament represent significant knee ligament injuries. There is ongoing debate among the medical community about posterior cruciate ligament repair. Our clinical case report can provide a new perspective for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Presentation Of Case:
This study reported the author's treatment of a 26-year-old male patient with a left knee posterior cruciate ligament damage, left tibial plateau fracture, left knee meniscal injury, and left knee soft tissue injury with a quadriceps tendon-patellar bone autograft through the tibial inlay technique.
Discussion:
The tibial inlay technique effectively addresses residual laxity associated with the 'killer turn' phenomenon and the autologous patella-quadriceps tendon not only maintains the integrity of the quadriceps femoris, but also mitigates the risks of quadriceps tendon rupture and patellar fracture.
Conclusion:
The use of modified bone-tendon tibial inlay technique can conduct the acceleration of knee joint rehabilitation post-surgery, guarantees the stability of the rebuilt ligament and have fewer complications.
