| Summary: | Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstructions are challenging surgeries. Recent advances have included double-bundle PCL, arthroscopic inlay, and all-inside techniques. This technical note presents an anatomic, single-bundle, all-inside PCL reconstruction with an anterior tibialis allograft GraftLink construct. The surgery was performed with FlipCutter guide pins and ACL TightRope RT. The case involved a 22-year-old woman with an isolated grade 3 PCL tear that had failed nonoperative treatment. The technique described is minimally invasive. |
