Abstract
A patellar bone-tendon-bone tibial inlay reconstruction of the posterior cruciate
ligament using a popliteal arthrotomy was designed to minimize graft-tunnel wall abrasion.
Arthroscopic techniques are used for femoral graft fixation. In a small series, the
procedure decreased the quadriceps active drawer in 70° of flexion by an average of
4 mm and improved patellofemoral symptoms.
