REPLACEMENT OF THE TORN POSTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT WITH A MID-THIRD PATELLAR TENDON GRAFT WITH USE OF A MODIFIED TIBIAL INLAY METHOD

Abstract

Use of our modified tibial inlay technique for reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament achieved a good clinical result in eleven of twelve patients. The advantages of the technique are (1) minimal tendon abrasion at the posterior opening of the tibial tunnel, and (2) elimination of the need to change the patient's position during surgery.
