Posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with modified bone-tendon tibial inlay technique: A case report.

INTRODUCTION

Tears of the posterior cruciate ligament represent significant knee ligament injuries. There is ongoing debate among the medical community about posterior cruciate ligament repair. Our clinical case report can provide a new perspective for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

PRESENTATION OF CASE

This study reported the author's treatment of a 26-year-old male patient with a left knee posterior cruciate ligament damage, left tibial plateau fracture, left knee meniscal injury, and left knee soft tissue injury with a quadriceps tendon-patellar bone autograft through the tibial inlay technique.

DISCUSSION

The tibial inlay technique effectively addresses residual laxity associated with the 'killer turn' phenomenon and the autologous patella-quadriceps tendon not only maintains the integrity of the quadriceps femoris, but also mitigates the risks of quadriceps tendon rupture and patellar fracture.

CONCLUSION

The use of modified bone-tendon tibial inlay technique can conduct the acceleration of knee joint rehabilitation post-surgery, guarantees the stability of the rebuilt ligament and have fewer complications.
