Although the management of the PCL-injured knee remains controversial, there is a group of patients who will develop accelerated traumatic arthritis in whom surgical intervention is warranted. PCL reconstruction with a patellar tendon graft can reliably restore objective stability in over 90% of patients. Strict attention to detail, however, especially with respect to tunnel placement, is necessary to insure success.

D016119	Posterior Cruciate Ligament	A strong ligament of the knee that originates from the anterolateral surface of the medial condyle of the femur, passes posteriorly and inferiorly between the condyles, and attaches to the posterior intercondylar area of the tibia.

D017847	Patellar Ligament	A band of fibrous tissue that attaches the apex of the PATELLA to the lower part of the tubercle of the TIBIA. The ligament is actually the caudal continuation of the common tendon of the QUADRICEPS FEMORIS. The patella is embedded in that tendon. As such, the patellar ligament can be thought of as connecting the quadriceps femoris tendon to the tibia, and therefore it is sometimes called the patellar tendon.
