(Fig 2-B.27) Scar tissue Attachment to the PCL https://youtu.be/cQ1YiSFDZ2I https://youtu.be/8yHOp_whDZU ✅ ACL Scarring: The scar tissue from the ACL most frequently attaches to the lateral side of the proximal PCL and the intercondylar notch. It is less common for the scar to attach back to the ACL's original attachment point. Among these patterns, scarring that reconnects the ACL to its original attachment point is rare but results in the .. 2024. 2. 25.
