Abstract

  Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury usually remain the remnant, both tibial and femoral footprint. PCL reconstruction with remnant preservation demonstrated satisfactory outcomes, better grafted tendon healing. In addition, anatomic PCL reconstruction is a key factor in achieving better outcome. However, the surgeon needs to be able to access the posterior compartment of the knee joint. Ahn introduced the trans-septal technique to enter the posterior compartment, but it is not easy to do. Bancha modified this technique by using the intercruciate ligament approach. The posterior trans-septal portal provides an exactly visualization the PCL attachment, so the PCL graft can be put in an anatomic position.
