Abstract
The gain in posterior laxity was substantial. Results depended on associated lesions, particularly lateral involvement (stiffness, IKDC score) rather than the repair technique. The synthetic ligament appeared to play the role of a tutor: a single strand measuring 6 mm in diameter is sufficient. This technique spares tendon stock and could be proposed for major posterior cruciate ligament laxity. A longer follow-up will be necessary to confirm the durable stability.
