| Abstract |
Aim of this study was to determine the characteristics, clinical and radiological diagnostic methods of PCL isolated and combined knee injuries. One hundred and twelve patients with a recurrent posterior knee laxity were surgically treated. Clinical examination, MRI, Telos™ stress dynamic X-rays, KT-1000 measurements and the IKDC questionnaire were used to diagnose and evaluate these injuries. Median follow-up was 4.5 years (2-11 years). Thirty-two patients (28.6 %) had an isolated posterior laxity, 53 (47.3 %) a posterior posterolateral laxity, 21 (18.7 %) a posterior posteromedial laxity and six (5.4 %) patients had a complex posterior and mediolateral laxity. Road traffic accidents and sports injuries were the main causes of trauma. The mean preoperative value of posterior tibial translation was 13.5 mm (SD 1.4) and the mean postoperative value was 4.4 mm (SD 1.7) as measured with the Telos device. In the cases with a concomitant ACL rupture, the mean preoperative value of anterior tibial translation was 6.5 mm (SD 1.3) and the mean postoperative value was 1.7 mm (SD 0.8). The mean pre- and postoperative IKDC scores were 74.5 (SD 4.2) and 87.9 (SD 3.1), respectively. Meniscal and/or cartilage injuries were found in 80 patients (71.4 %). Recurrent posterior knee laxity can be restored with the one-stage PCL reconstruction using a quadriceps graft and reconstruction of the posteromedial-posterolateral lesions using the LaPrade techniques. The benefits of this study include enabling surgeons to accurately manage these injuries from a clinical perspective, and treating them with a specific surgical algorithm. III. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 April 2016.
All research outputs
#15,365,885
of 22,858,915 outputs
Outputs from Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy
#1,783
of 2,652 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#180,516
of 300,926 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy
#34
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,858,915 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,652 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,926 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
