The biomechanics of femoral and tibial posterior cruciate ligament graft placement.
Parameters for ideal posterior cruciate ligament graft placement have yet to be convincingly defined. Both anatomic and biomechanical data are reviewed and analyzed with respect to the concepts of isometric and physiometric graft placement. Perhaps elements of both may represent the ultimate solution.
