  • Title: Reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament: preliminary report of a new procedure.
    Author: McCormick WC, Bagg RJ, Kennedy CW, Leukens CA.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1976; (118):30-1. PubMed ID: 954287.
    Abstract:
    The integrity of the posterior cruciate ligament is necessary for the stability of the knee. The popliteus tendon is a promising, practical, and anatomical donor for reconstructing the posterior cruciate ligament. The procedure can be performed relatively easily using a posterolateral Henderson incision in association with the standard anteromedial parapatellar approach. We have performed the operation in 2 patients, produced good results at 4 and 6 month follow-up examination.
