Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bioabsorbable cross-pin femoral fixation: a technical note.

There are many methods for fixation of the posterior cruciate ligament grafts. We introduce a new surgical technique that provides more secure femoral and tibial fixation of a tibialis posterior allograft. The tendon was prepared as a four-stranded graft. The tibial tunnel was made using a standard trans-tibial technique. A femoral tunnel was prepared through a low anterolateral portal. The graft was inserted into the femoral tunnel through the anterolateral portal and TransFix (Arthrex, Naples, FL) was fixed at the femur. Four stands of the graft were passed through the tibial tunnel and IntraFix (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA) was fixed at the tibia.
