“…The technique utilized in this case series is most similar to the one described by Hopper et al [ 17 ]. DiFelice and Van der List recently described PCL repair with SA with a similar technique; however, they utilized suture anchors for proximal fixation instead of a button [ 16 ].…”

We present two cases of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) repair with suture augmentation (SA) in the setting of multiligamentous knee injury (MLKI). Excellent clinical outcomes were obtained at two-year follow-up with both patients returning to sport following injury. Both patients demonstrated improvements in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) that exceeded the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) as reported in the literature for ligamentous knee injuries. One patient developed arthrofibrosis, which was successfully treated with manipulation under anesthesia and arthroscopic lysis of adhesions two months postoperatively. Both patients had full knee range of motion (ROM) by a one-year follow-up. One patient returned to full preinjury level of sport at six months postoperatively while the other patient returned to 50% of preinjury intensity at two-year follow-up. This series of two cases of PCL repair with SA in MLKIs demonstrates that PCL repair with SA is a viable procedure that can result in excellent short-term outcomes and restore knee stability.

“…[25][26][27][28][29] On the contrary, only one additional augmented PCL repair was identified when reviewing the literature. 30 Hopper et al described a modification of our transosseous tunnel technique using FiberTape augmentation but retrieved the repair stitches proximally through one femoral drill hole.…”

Arthroscopic Primary Repair of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is one of the four major stabilizers of the knee joint and functions as the primary restraint to posterior tibial translation. PCL tears rarely occur in isolation and most commonly presents in the setting of multiligamentous knee injuries. Several treatment strategies for these injuries have been proposed over the last decades, including ligament reconstruction and primary repair. Arthroscopic primary PCL repair has the potential to preserve native tissue using a more minimally invasive approach, thereby avoiding donor-site morbidity and allowing early mobilization. While arthroscopic PCL repair is certainly not an effective surgical approach for all patients, this procedure may be a reasonable and less morbid alternative to PCL reconstruction in selected patients treated for proximal or distal avulsion tears, with low failure rates, good knee stability, and good to excellent subjective outcomes. The surgical indications, surgical techniques, postoperative management, and outcomes for arthroscopic primary repair of proximal and distal PCL tears will be discussed in this review.

“…Long-term results and further developments in this field are awaited. [51] Multiple ligament knee injury and knee dislocations Knee dislocation presents a unique challenge in terms of the management of soft-tissue envelope, repair, and/or reconstruction of ligaments, with their timing and technique. Although an individualized approach is recommended for these complex injuries, numerous studies have enabled a consensus and algorithm for management of these challenging injuries.…”

Recent advances and future trends in knee arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopic surgery continues to advance in leaps and bounds. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remains the most controversial structure to be operated on in the knee, and although the enthusiasm for double- bundle reconstruction has waned, there is a definite preference for anatomic reconstruction using an individualized approach. Despite early failed attempts at ACL primary repair, there is a renewed interest in this preservative approach with the application of technologically advanced instruments and implants. The thrust toward meniscal preservation too continues as better understanding of meniscal healing, improved repair techniques, and novel methods to enhance healing have encouraged surgeons to repair tears previously deemed irreparable. Similarly, articular cartilage surgery has advanced with better understanding of cellular mechanisms and the development of newer techniques of cartilage regeneration. Although the focus in the present era has been to restore anatomy with optimal biomechanical constructs, upcoming technology will address biological concerns in healing, especially with degenerate tissues. Future trends in knee arthroscopy include application of scaffolds, orthobiologics, stem cells, and bioreactors to generate personalized, and patient specific autogenous tissue engineered implants. This review article summarizes the latest developments in knee arthroscopy and predicts future trends in this rapidly advancing subspecialty.
