후방십자인대 및 후외측인대 재건술 후 결과는 많은 발전이 있었지만, evidence medicine의 측면에서 재활 방법에 관한 전향적 연구는 없다. 현재까지의 재활 방법은 다양하게 소개되었지만 전방십자인대 재건술처럼 가속 재활을 하는 것은 바람직스럽지 않다. 후방십자인대, 후외측인대 그리고 다발성 인대 재건술 후 재활은 수술 방법과 환자의 재건된 인대의 상태, 하지 정렬 등에 따라서 개별화하여 점진적으로 진행하여야 할 것이고, 재활기간 동안 의사의 세심한 관찰이 필요하다.

후방십자인대 손상의 이상적 치료는 아직까지도 확립되지 않았다. 과거 몇 십 년간 후방십자인대에 대한 지식과 슬관절 안정성에 대한 후방십자인대의 생역학에 대한 지식이 증가하였다. 특히 이중 다발에 대한 지식이 증가하고 이러한 모든 노력들은 후방십자인대의 해부학적인 특징을 최대한 복원하기 위해 이루어졌다. 재건술의 수술 방법은 특정 손상 양상에 따라 그에 맞게 이루어지는데 만성 손상의 경우나 remnant가 거의 존재하지 않는 경우에는 이중 다발을 재건하는 것이 만족스러운 결과를 보인다. 아직까지 이중 다발 후방십자인대 재건술의 결과에 대해서는 논란이 많은 것은 사실이나 장기 추시가 가능해지면 이중 다발 후방십자인대 재건술이 해부학적으로나 생역학적으로 더욱 정상에 가깝기 때문에 더 나은 장기적 결과를 보여줄 것으로 예상된다.

Optimal treatment of the torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) remains controversial. The type of tibial fixation (transtibial vs inlay), the femoral tunnel position within the femoral footprint (central, eccentric or isometric), and the number of bundles in the reconstruction (single-bundle vs double-bundle) are controversial issues. The PCL has a better chance of spontaneously healing than the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) because of a rich blood supply (near the branch of the middle genicular artery) and coverage with a thicker synovium. In general, for easier passage of the graft and full visualization of the original ligament attachment site during the precise positioning of the tunnel, the remaining PCL fibers are usually debrided during reconstruction. However, the remaining remnant structures would significantly contribute to the posterior stability of the knee joint, the healing of the graft, preserving proprioceptive function of the mechanoreceptors in the PCL. Double bundle PCL reconstruction may result in some surgical complications because of increased complexity of making tunnel. Therefore, single bundle PCL reconstruction with remnant preservation seems to be an effective procedure.

Purpose : Preliminary report of the technique and trial of double bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles allograft. Materials and Methods : From May 1999 to July 2000, 8 cases of PCL insufficient patients were treated with Achilles allograft reconstruction using the double bundle and double femoral tunnel technique. The tibial tunnel was prepared anteromedially. All other combined injuries within the knees were treated accordingly. Minimal follow-up period was 1 year. The results was assessed from the point of function and stability using Lysholm knee score and KT-2000 arthrometer. Results : Up to present follow up. 8 patients showed good sign of recovery with no instability (translation less than 2 mm) except olio that has been grafted-ligament rupture. In addition, none showed any sign of infection nor ROM limitation. Two complications were seen, which one had grafted-bone fracture and the other grafted-ligament rupture. The former occurred during operation and the latter occurred due to improper protection. Conclusion : Presently the follow up period is too short to draw any conclusive opinion but it is essential to select healthy and well sterilized allografts fur successful outcome. Double femoral tunnel technique seems to be more physiologic in PCL reconstruction. With these prerequisites, it seems to be a good alternative to use Achilles allografts fur the reconstruction of PCL. However, a longer follow-up is needed.

Posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions are dangerous procedure in terms of neurovascular complication. But deep vein thrombosis and associated compartment syndrome after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has not been reported, yet. We have experienced a patient who developed a deep vein thrombosis and compartment syndrome after revision posterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery, and report the importance of diagnosis and management with the discussions.

관절경적 경경골 단일 다발 후방십자인대 재건술은 전통적으로 가장 흔하게 사용되는 사용되는 술기이다. 그러나, 후방십자 단독 파열시 이 술기의 결과에 대한 임상 평가 및 효용성에 대한 임상적 분석 자료가 거의 없는 실정이다. 이 술기를 시행받은 환자군들에서 객관적 슬관절 이완이 존재함에도 불구하고 주관적 슬관절 기능 장애는 우수한 결과를 나타낸다고 인정되어 왔다. 후방십자인대 단독 파열 후 경경골 단일 다발 재건술을 시행한 문헌 10개를 대상으로 잔존하는 후방 이완과 주관적, 객관적인 기능 평가, 활동성 정도, 환자 만족도, 골관절염의 발생 빈도, 술후 합병증을 체계적으로 고찰하였다. 술전 후방 슬관절 이완은 8.38~12.3 mm에서(4문헌) 술후 1.96~5.9 mm으로(9 문헌) 호전되었다. Lysholom 점수는 평균 81~100점이었다(9 문헌). IKDC는 75%에서 정상 또는 거의 정상의 결과를 보였다(6 문헌). 평균 Tegner 활동도는 4.7~6.3점이었다(8 문헌). 이번 고찰을 통한 결과에서 이 술기 후 퇴행성 변화가 관찰되었으며 보고된 합병증은 거의 없었다. 후방십자인대 단독 파열에서 경경골 단일 다발 재건술은 정상 슬관절의 안정성까지 회복하지는 못하나 한 등급 정도의 후방 슬관절 이완의 호전을 기대할 수 있다. 재활 및 운동으로의 회복에 대한 주관적 슬관절 점수는 80점이며 75%의 정상 또는 정상에 가까운 객관적 결과를 보여주었다. 이 술기가 퇴행성 관절염을 예방할 수는 없더라도 이러한 결과는 후방십자인대 재건 술기의 평가에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Few cases have been reported in which the femoral interference screw has migrated into the posterior compartment after an ACL reconstruction. It usually requires removal, because it leads usually to mechanical symptom. However, the arthroscopic removal of a screw is a technically demanding procedure, especially in the case of an intact integrated ACL graft or one that is encapsulated around the screw. We present a case in which a displaced femoral interference screw migrated within the posterior compartment 11 years postoperatively, after the graft had been successfully incorporated at the femoral site and showed good continuity on MRI and arthroscopic examination. Although it is often technically challenging, through the use of a posterior trans-septal portal, we can successfully remove a displaced femoral interference screw even in the most difficult locations in the posterior compartment without damage to ACL graft.

Purpose: To report the results of arthroscope assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction without tourniquet, which has not yet been reported in documents within the country. Materials and Methods: Out of the 75 cases of arthroscope assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on patients with posterior cruciate ligament damage from January, 1998 to May,2003 in this hospital, study was done on 49 cases of patients with isolated posterior cruciate ligament damage, excluding 16 cases of patients who were applied tourniquet in extraarticular operation due to combined damage such as in lateral collateral ligament and posterolateral collateral ligament, and 10 cases where the postoperative observation period was less than 12 months. There were 13 cases where reconstruction was done using autogenous bone-patella tendon-bone, 19 cases using allogenous bone-patella tendon-bone, and 17 cases using allogenous achilles tendon. For assessment, the 49 cases were compared using Lysholm knee scoring scale. Results: The average duration of operation was 105 minutes. There were no severe complications such as swelling, bleeding, infection etc . Assessment results attained by Lysholm knee scoring scale was 74(fair) for cases where autogenous bone-patella ten-don-bone was used,75(fair) for cases where allogenous achilles tendon was used, and 76(fair) for cases where allogenous bone-patella tendon-bone was used. Conclusion: There are no difficulties to perform the arthroscopic assisted posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Reconstruction without tourniquet can be thought to prevent complications that could follow when using it.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical result and the gait patterns for patients who had undergone the arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using Achilles allograft. Materials and Methods: Among the patient who had undergone the arthroscopic PCL reconstruction using fresh-frozen Achilles allograft between March 2004 to March 2005, we selected 12 patients who compliance to our rehabilitation program. Clinical result and gait analysis were carried out at 36 months postoperatively. There were measured by using range of motion (ROM), Lysholm knee score, Tegner activity score, IKDC score, posterior stress test, and posterior translation measured by using Telos stress arthrometer. Kinematic gait analysis was carried out using 3-dimensional gait analysis system. Results: The PCL reconstruction surgery yielded statistacally significant results in all of clinical evaluation. In gait analysis, the average knee flexion angle increased during stance phase and decreased during the swing phase, but was not statistically significant and there were no significant difference between both sides of their knees overall. Conclusion: Since there was no statistically significant difference between the injured and uninjured sides as a result of the gait evaluation of the patients who had arthroscopic reconstruction surgery on their PCL injured knee and conformed to the rehabilitation program, systemic and strict rehabilitation ought to be important in the reconstruction surgery.
