PCL reconstruction with the tibial inlay technique following intra-medullary nail fixation of an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture: a treatment algorithm.
Our case report highlights the complexity of treating multi-ligament knee injuries in the setting of ipsilateral long bone trauma. We describe the use of the tibial inlay technique for PCL reconstruction in the setting of a tibial shaft fracture treated with an intramedullary nail. We also present a comprehensive treatment algorithm for the treatment of ligamentous knee injuries in the setting of long bone trauma.
