The transtibial double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a single sling is a viable procedure, according to a study published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine.
Twenty-one patients who underwent the double-bundle transtibial isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a single-sling method were evaluated using various stability and pain management tests. At the two-year follow-up, researchers found that the mean Lysholm score and International Knee Documentation Committee scales improved.
