Abstract
- PCL reconstruction in chronic PCL injury has been still controversy. Retension technique of chronic laxed PCL injury at tibial attachment site is introduced as a new method of treatment. Tibial attachment area of laxed PCL is detached with bone block and pulled downward. Retensed PCL is fixed at the distal area of original tibial attachment site of PCL. This technique is relatively simple and original propriocep-tion of PCL fiber can be preserved. Also it is not necessary to consider tunnel placement and isometirc point. We report two cases of chronic laxed PCL injury who were treated by retension technique.
