Editorial Commentary: Could Time From Injury to Surgery Affect Decision Making for Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?

Editorial Commentary: The Posterior Cruciate Ligament Posteromedial Bundle Is Small but Vital to Posterior Cruciate Ligament Biomechanics: Don’t Ignore the Underdog

“…6,7 The distinct attachment sites of the 2 PCL bundles not only are suggestive of their synergistic and co-dominant role in knee biomechanics but also offer a technical advantage for safe tunnel placement when double-bundle reconstruction is attempted. The study by Forsythe et al 5 adds to the series of recent work that has attempted to recognize important aspects in PCL reconstruction, such as the position of the femoral tunnel, 8 the importance of fixation, 9 the timing from injury to reconstruction, 10 the graft bending angle, [11][12][13] the role of the tibial slope, 14 the role of remnant tissue, 15,16 and the optimization of grafts. 17,18 The number of published articles about PCL injury showed an exponential increase in the past decade, reaching 76.9 and 82.9 articles published per year in the PubMed and Scopus databases, respectively (Fig 1).…”
