The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) reconstruction with preservation of original remnant and stent method. From October 2002 to March 2006, we performed PCL reconstruction with Achilles tendon allografts in 25 patients. Mean age was 30.5 years. 18 cases were male and 7 cases were female. Average follow-up period was 2 years and 7 months, range from 1 year to 4 years and 6 months. Subjective and objective parameters were utilized in analyses, such as: the mean range of motion, Lysholm knee score, Tegner activity score, Lachman test, IKDC score. Postoperative mean Lysholm knee score, IKDC scores, Tegner activity scale, and posterior displacement by the Telos stress test demonstrated statistically significant differences compared to the preoperative. Therefore, we concluded that arthroscopic PCL reconstruction with preservation of original remnant and stent operation used to Achilles tendon allograft showed good clinical results and was good operative technique.
