Although the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is not frequently injured, a greater understanding of its role in stabilizing the knee joint, mechanism of injury and treatment has developed. Isolated avulsion injuries constitute only a subgroup of PCL injuries, but nevertheless several operative tech

## Abstract We studied the healing response of a devitalized anterior cruciate ligament to a treatment of initial anteriorโposterior joint translation in goats. Devitalization and devascularization were achieved by five successive freezeโthaw cycles. Anteriorโposterior translation was surgically al
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 The posterolateral structures of the knee consist of a complex anatomical architecture that includes several components with both static and dynamic functions. Injuries of the posterolateral structures occur frequently in conjunction with ruptures of the posterior cruciate ligament. To
