Overview of PCL Reconstruction Surgery
PCL Reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair both injured posterior cruciate ligaments in the knee. This surgery is typically done after severe trauma or sports injuries that affect both PCL bundles. It helps restore knee stability and improve mobility.
The Surgical Technique Behind PCL Reconstruction
In this procedure, surgeons reconstruct both the anterolateral and posteromedial bundles of the PCL using tendon grafts. The surgery is performed using arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique that involves a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions. Hamstring tendons or allografts are commonly used to replace the damaged ligaments. Surgeons drill tunnels in the femur and tibia to position and secure the grafts with screws or buttons. Fluoroscopy and tensioning devices are often used for accurate placement and alignment. This advanced reconstruction improves knee function and prevents long-term joint instability.
When is PCL Reconstruction Necessary?
- To treat complete PCL ruptures involving both bundles.
- When conservative treatment fails to restore knee stability.
- In cases of multiligament knee injuries or high-grade posterior laxity.
- To prevent early-onset arthritis due to chronic PCL deficiency.
