ligament.

The standard approach through the popliteal fossa to the tibial attachment of
the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) can be time-consuming and is regarded as
hazardous. The simplified approach does not transect or expose neurovascular
structures as in other procedures. With dissection on the medial border of the
medial head of the gastrocnemius and by lateral retraction, the posterior
capsule is safely exposed. The approach is ideal for internal fixation of an
avulsed tibial attachment of the PCL.
