Editorial Commentary: Biomechanics of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Fixation.

Abstract

The surgical outcome of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is generally accepted as inferior to that of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Numerous studies have reported causes of failure, and fixation stability would be one of the most important factors for a successful posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The fixation method, fixation area, graft construct, and effective length of the graft can all be consideration points. Strong fixation over a broad area that reduces the effective length of the graft and is composed of a multistranded graft would be the best.
