ABSTRACT:

Background

The arthroscopic approach to the posterior compartment of the knee is always challenging. This easy arthroscopic transseptal approach allows safe access to the posterior compartment of the knee, avoiding any potential neurovascular injury.

Indications

Indications include arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, fixation of avulsion fractures of the tibial attachment of the PCL, arthroscopic posterolateral corner reconstruction, removal of loose bodies from the posterior compartment, PCL cyst removal, ramp repair, and arthroscopic arthrolysis of the posterior compartment.
