title: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the bone-posterior cruciate ligament-bone allograft.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Allografts were widely used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction for patients with ACL rupture of the knee. This study was to approve the feasibility of bone-posterior cruciate ligament-bone (BPCLB) allograft transplantation in ACL reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eight patients underwent ACL reconstructions with BPCLB allografts and were followed up for an average period of 32 months after operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Subjective parameters including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), modified Larson knee ligament, Lysholm, and Tegner rating scales were much improved and side to side KT-2000 arthrometer difference was much less postoperatively. Pivot shift test was negative in all patients. The reconstructed ACL had satisfactory shape and tension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  BPCLB allograft is an optional choice for ACL reconstruction.
