132: Overtime – PCLR graft choice

SportsDocsPod
About this episode

Welcome to Overtime with the Sports Docs! On each of these mini episodes, we chat about a new article or new surgical technique in the field of sports medicine. We’ll give you our quick take on the most recent data and how this data will be impacting our practice.

Today, we’re talking about posterior cruciate ligament injuries – specifically, surgical treatment; including reconstruction technique and graft choice. We’ll be reviewing an article published this month in AJSM titled, “Single-Bundle Autografts Outperform Single-Bundle Achilles Allograft in PCL Reconstruction in Terms of Posterior Tibial Translation and Clinical Outcomes, but No Differences Exist Between Double-Bundle Grafts.”
