title: Anatomic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with allograft.
abstract: This article describes the anatomic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique. This technique combines the double bundle technique with the tibial inlay technique in a single reconstruction using an Achilles' tendon allograft. Key technique points are described including patient positioning, graft preparation, surgical approach, and graft fixation. Immediate postoperative care and results from the author's practice are also discussed.
