Abstract:[Objective] To compare the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) through posterior double portals versus a single portal. [Methods] A retrospective study was performed on 74 patients who received ar- throscopic PCL reconstruction in our hospital between January 2018 and October 2019. According to the results of preoperative doctor-pa- tient communication, 36 patients had PCL reconstructed by double anterior portals combined with double posterior portal (the DP group) , while the remaining 38 patients were by double anterior portals combined with a single posterior portal (the SP group) . The documents re- garding perioperative period, follow-up and images were compared between the two groups. [Results] All the 74 patients had PCL recon- struction performed successfully without nerve or vascular injury. The DP group proved significantly superior to the SP group in terms of op- eration time and intraoperative fluoroscopy times (P<0.05) , although there were no significant differences in total incision length, intraoper- ative blood loss, postoperative walking time, wound healing and hospital stay (P>0.05) . All patients were followed up for more than 18 months, without a significant difference in the time of full weight-bearing activity between the two groups (P>0.05) . The VAS, Lysholm, IK- DC scores, as well as knee extension-flexor range of motion (ROM) and posterior drawer test significantly improved in both groups over time (P<0.05) . At 6 months and last follow-up, the DP group proved significantly superior to the SP group in terms of Lysholm and IKDC scores, regardless of the fact that there were no significant differences in VAS score, ROM, and posterior drawer test between them (P> 0.05) . Regarding imaging evaluation, the DP group was also better than the SP group in terms of coronal tibial tunnel deviation, the percent- age of slope tunnel position, and the vertical tibial tunnel deviation, whereas which were not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The tibia pos- terior displacement distance measured at 90° flexion stress X-rays significantly reduced in both groups at 6 months after operation and at the last follow-up compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05) , which was of no significant difference at any corresponding time points be- tween the two groups (P>0.05) . [Conclusion] Arthroscopic PCL reconstruction through double posterior portals takes advantages of shorten- ing operation time, declining intraoperative fluoroscopy times and improving postoperative functional recovery over that through a single posterior portal.
