One of the most commonly cited reasons for retaining the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) during total knee arthroplasty is to preserve femoral rollback and theoretically improve extensor …

The role of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery continues to be a source of debate among the adult reconstruction community. In native knee …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention, PCL recession, and PCL excision during cruciate-retaining total knee replacement. A total of …

Background: The sequence of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) release in posterior-substituting designs, when performing gap balancing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is variable. We …

2021年5月16日 · Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention in a well-balanced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) construct continues to be the standard by which other designs are …

2023年11月14日 · We inquired whether sacrificing the PCL would improve range of motion, functional outcomes, and limb alignment compared to preserving the PCL in TKA using medial …

1997年12月1日 · The results showed that the PCL was able to prevent posterior translation and maintain femoral rollback when it was preserved during TKA. Therefore, the PCL can be …

The role of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery continues to be a source of debate among the adult reconstruction community. In native knee …

PCL resection creates flexion-extension mismatch by increasing the flexion gap more than the extension gap. The increase in the lateral flexion gap is greater than the increase in the medial …

Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention or sacrifice figures prominently among the current controversies in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Even though biomechanical advantages and …
