- Abstract
Previous transtibial double bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction methods have several problems in graft length and tibial fixation. We introduce new surgical method that is less restrictive by graft length and is more stable with single tibial fixation. After diagnostic arthroscopy, we prepare the graft, ream the tibial tunnel, and perform the procedure for TransFix tibial fixation. Femoral 2 tunnel is made and graft is passed via anteromedial (AM) portal. Tibial fixation is done and femoral 2 graft is fixed sequentially at each knee position. TransFix tibial single fixation method in double bundle PCL reconstruction provides more stable fixation, more free graft selection, and prevents graft damage by passing the graft via AM portal.
