Osseous avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament from the articular surface of the tibia requires surgical treatment. If the avulsed fragment is large enough, fixation by means of two crossed drill wires exiting on the extensor surface of the tibia is the recommended treatment. Advantages of this

Excellent biomechanical evidence supports the theory that the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) acts primarily as two separate functional bundles, with the anterolateral or anterocentral portion of the ligament acting predominantly in flexion, and the posteromedial or posterior oblique portion of th
## Abstract Total anteriorβposterior translation is commonly used to assess the integrity of the cruciate ligaments and the success of reconstructive surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine, after surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with a biological graft, if tota
