Thick graft vs. double-bundle technique on posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: experimental biomechanical study with cadavers

Conclusions Graft enlargement improves knee stability in isolated PCL reconstructions, whereas the graft division in the two-bundle technique worsens this stability at 60° and 90° of knee flexion. The findings of this study suggest that knee stability in PCL reconstructions may be improved with the use of thicker grafts in a single-bundle technique rather than performing a double-bundle reconstruction.
