“…In a recent analysis of 106 patients with multi-ligamentous knee injuries, the most common injury pattern (43 %) was a combined disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, and posterolateral corner [5]. PCL injuries also occur concomitantly with peri-articular fractures of the knee, in which they are missed over 60 % of the time [6]. In contrast to ACL injury, patients with chronic PCL insufficiency often complain of anterior knee pain, difficulty with stairs, and less commonly, instability [7].…”

The ideal treatment for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries is controversial and remains an active area of orthopedic research. The indications for surgery and the ideal method of reconstruction continue to be evaluated in biomechanical and clinical studies. Recent research has provided information on the anatomy and biomechanics of the PCL, and the merits and drawbacks of the transtibial compared with the tibial inlay technique, the use of single vs double-bundle reconstruction, and different graft options for reconstruction. This review discusses important factors in the surgical treatment of PCL injuries, with attention to the most current literature on these topics.
