Specifically, it is paramount to consider and treat posteromedial and posterolateral instability. Success in revision surgery focuses on appropriate graft choice and precise tunnel placement at anatomical attachment sites. Furthermore, correct tensioning of the graft, secondary or backup fixation and well-designed PT and rehab protocols are integral components. The factors causing failure of the primary reconstruction should be identified, as revision surgery must address the errors and follow strict surgical principals to be successful. There are many variables that play a role in successful revision posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. In general, as in most ligament reconstruction surgery, it is important to identify and address all associated pathology such as lower extremity malalignment and additional instability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
