Double-bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (DB-PCLR) is becoming increasingly used alternative to the single-bungle PCLR. While more technically challenging, it seems to better improve patients' outcomes. Therefore, outcomes of DB-PCLR will be assessed and reported.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
10
DB-PCLR with reconstruction of both PCL bundles: anterolateral and posteromedial bundle will be performed.
