Double-bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (DB-PCLR) is becoming increasingly used alternative to the single-bungle PCLR. While more technically challenging, it seems to better improve patients' outcomes. Therefore, outcomes of DB-PCLR will be assessed and reported.
PCL tear with III grade sympomatic posterior instability confirmed clinically and radiologically
full knee range of motion
active knee inflammation
non-adherence to the study protocol
fixed posterior drawer
Patients after PCL tear with knee instability undergoing DB-PCLR
Cohort
Prospective
DB-PCLR
Procedure/SurgeryDB-PCLR with reconstruction of both PCL bundles: anterolateral and posteromedial bundle will be performed.
Knee posterior translatory stability - posterior sag test
Posterior sag test will be performed and outcome will be presented as present/ absent
Knee posterior translatory stability - posterior drawer test
Posterior drawer test aided with Rollimeter will be performed and outcomes will be presented in milimeters
Knee posterior translatory stability - posterior Lachman test
Posterior Lachman test aided with Rollimeter will be performed and outcomes will be presented in milimeters
Knee posterior translatory stability - stress X-ray
Stress X-ray assessing posterior translatory stability of the knee will be performed and outcomes will be presented in milimeters
