Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Abstract

The optimal surgical technique for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a topic of debate among knee surgeons. There are many variables to consider including graft selection, graft fixation method, and single- versus double-bundle reconstruction. While there is a need for ongoing research to elucidate which technique yields the best results, this article discusses recent literature on the topic of single- versus double-bundle PCL reconstruction as well as the senior author's preferred reconstruction method.
