Abstract
The integrity of the posterior cruciate ligament is necessary for the stability of the knee. The popliteus tendon is a promising, practical, and anatomical donor for reconstructing the posterior cruciate ligament. The procedure can be performed relatively easily using a posterolateral Henderson incision in association with the standard anteromedial parapatellar approach. We have performed the operation in 2 patients, produced good results at 4 and 6 month follow-up examination.
