Posterior Knee Arthroscopy: Anatomy, Technique, Application

Morphology of the Tibial Insertion of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament

“…Furthermore, visualization of the tibial in- sertion site of the posterior cruciate ligament, based on accurate anatomical data, is important for successful arthroscopic reconstruction of the ligament. Insufficient visualization might cause neurovascular injuries, malpositioning of the tibial tunnel, and ultimately failure of the reconstruction 25 .…”

Arthroscopic Posteromedial Capsular Release

“…Of note, the sartorial branch of the long saphenous nerve runs with the long saphenous vein approximately 10 mm posterior to the ideal portal location. 8 Step 5: Posteromedial Capsular Release…”

Arthroscopy and Sport Injuries

“…A study by Vangsness showed that approximately 90 % of patients with isolated chronic tendinosis have a good or excellent result, and >95 % of athletes are able to return to sports activities, following detachment of the FPM origin, excision of abnormal tissue, and reattachment of FPM [ 92 ]. A more recent case series by Osbahr et al identifi ed a population of baseball players undergoing UCL reconstruction who sustained concomitant fl exor-pronator injuries [ 91 ] (Fig. 25.2 ).…”
