Abstract
There is no consensus on how to optimally reconstruct a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). This paper introduces a new surgical technique that provides more secure fixation, better graft selection, and more anatomic graft passage. This study focused on the tibial backside fixation of a soft tissue graft using a rigidfix system (RIGIDfix system; Mitek, Johnson & Johnson, Raynham, Massachusetts) and anatomic graft passage anterior to the meniscofemoral ligament (MFL) of Wrisberg.
