This is a cross-sectional study to evaluate the outcome of posterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction in chronic injuries using ipsilateral Bone-patella tendon-Bone graft in nine patients, between
January 2000 and January 2003 at our institution. Methods: Eight male and one female patient; their ages
ranged from 18 to 36 years old. The surgery was done at an average of 17.2 months (range from 3 and 40
months) post injury. All patients were followed up for a minimum of two years period. The assessment was
done at twelve and twenty-four months using Lysholm knee score, IKDC knee examination evaluation score and
arthrometric measurement with KT-2000. Results: The result showed only moderate success in restoration of
ligament stability with 73.4% satisfactory objective results. However, the functional improvement and patient
satisfaction is only 55%. The incidences of degenerative changes were 89% at the time of operation. Conclusion:
Surgical reconstruction of chronic Posterior Cruciate Ligament restored satisfactory stability of the knee but the
functional outcome was only moderate.
