(Fig 2-E.32) Graft Tear In PCL Reconstruction: killer turn of the tibial tunnel opening. https://youtu.be/Cd99fDQ6qSAhttps://youtu.be/UgiSgNcqguA1️⃣ Understanding the "Killer Turn" in PCL ReconstructionThe term "killer turn" in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) surgery describes the sharp, stressful bend that the PCL graft undergoes at the tibial tunnel aperture. This is not a smooth curve but an abrupt angle that can lead to increased graft tension, abrasion, and eventual failure. .. 2024. 4. 29.

(Fig 2-E.28) PCL Graft Ligamentization https://youtu.be/oQaqeFP_78ohttps://youtu.be/UgiSgNcqguAPCL graft ligamentization is the process of remodeling and revascularization that a tendon graft undergoes after being used for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction surgery. This process can be divided into three phases:1.Early phase (0-3 months):The graft is avascular (no blood supply)It appears hypointense (dark) on all MRI se.. 2024. 4. 29.
(Fig 2-E.27) Treatment of Acute Avulsion Fracture of PCL https://youtu.be/_rcYruLO4Mohttps://youtu.be/UgiSgNcqguAPCL tears typically do not occur alone and are most often associated with multiligamentous knee injuries.✅ Treatment StrategiesHistorically, treatments have ranged from ligament reconstruction to primary repair. Recently, arthroscopic primary PCL repair has emerged as a favorable option due to its minimally invasive nature. This technique p.. 2024. 4. 28.
(Fig 2-E.26) PCL Repair https://youtu.be/vsxJzmhoV30 https://youtu.be/UgiSgNcqguA✅ ACL RepairThe ACL often requires reconstruction due to its poor healing capacity after complete tears. However, when the ACL is intact with an associated tibial eminence avulsion fracture, primary repair by reattaching the bone fragment is possible and usually successful. This method applies to avulsion fractures at both the femoral and .. 2024. 4. 28.
