Purpose: The purpose of this study is to introduce the double bundle posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) reconstruction using Achilles allograft by the tibial inlay method and evaluate the clinical results of 11 cases who had PCL reconstruction using this method and were followed for more than 2 years after surgery.
Materials and Methods: Our series consists of 11 cases of PCL reconstruction due to chronic posterior instability of knee and acute PCL rupture. The clinical results were assessed using the IKDC(International Knee Documentation Committee) scoring system, posterior stress radiographs and the maximum posterior displacement using a KT-1000TM arthrometer.
Results: The average preoperative posterior displacement in 90 degree flexion stress radiograph was measured 13.4 mm and in 10 degree flexion the average posterior displacement using the KT-1000TM arthrometer was measured 11.4 mm. Postoperatively the 13.4 mm reduced to 4.4 mm and the 11.4 mm reduced to 3.9 mm. According to IKDC scoring system, 9 cases(81.8%) were satisfied. One case showed limitation of flexion with mild stiffness in the knee and another one case was not improved the posterior instability sufficiently and no complication of allograft was noticed.
Conclusion: The double bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles allograft by the tibial inlay method is a useful method for acute PCL rupture and chronic posterior instability of the knee including failed PCL reconstruction, because it will also make the posterior stability in the extension and 90 degree flexion position, and avoid the grafted tendon abrasion by acute turn of tibial tunnel.
