title: Arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament repair.
abstract: This article presents a classic case of posterior cruciate ligament disruption, as an isolated entity, with avulsion of the cruciate from the tibia origin. The treatment is an arthroscopic technique for reimplantation of the posterior cruciate ligament, using the Instrument Maker staple for fixation to facilitate proper reduction of the posterior cruciate, and presents a follow-up with excellent range of motion and stability of the knee.
