Abstract
Objective: To analyze the functional outcome of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon (PLT) autograft.
Methodology: This prospective study was done at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Lahore General Hospital, Lahore from January 2021 to November 2022. A total of 25 patients of either gender aged 18-40 years with isolated chronic PCL injury duration above 6 months and planned to undergo PCL reconstruction with PLT graft were included in the study. Functional scoring according to “International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC)”, “Modified Cincinnati” and “Lysholm scores” were done prior to surgery and at the end of follow-up period (9-months).
Results: In a total of 25 cases, the mean age was 26.86±7.83 years, The mean graft diameter was 8.34±0.69 mm. The mean pre-surgery IKDC score was 51.72±9.82 and 72.61±5.9 9-months after surgery (p<0.001). The mean modified Cincinnati scores were 52.66±9.04 and 71.35±6.2 at pre-surgery and after 9-months following surgery (p<0.001). The mean Lysholm score was 52.48±8.53 at baseline and 71.67±6.8 9-months after surgery (p<0.001). Post-Surgery (after 9-months) thigh circumference (cm) between injury site and contralateral healthy site at 10cm and 20cm proximal to upper patellar bone showed no significant differences.
Conclusion: Single bundle PCL reconstruction with PLT autograft showed good functional outcomes at 9-month follow up.

Key words: Autograft, knee, posterior cruciate ligament, tendon, thigh.
