Abstract

The aim of the current study was to record the various measurements of Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) on tibial surface in both sexes and both legs in elderly aged Chinese patients who were scheduled for undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and to evaluate the results statistically. Methods: 75 tibial cut-off bones of Chinese patients were collected during TKA intra-operatively. Among them, in male 10 samples were from left and 3 from right knee, and in female 34 samples from left and 28 from right knee, who varied in age from: 45 to 75 years old. Those samples were evaluated in order to make measurements from tibial insertion of PCL to anterior region of the tibial plateau, from tibial insertion of PCL to center of tibial plateau, from center of the tibial insertion of PCL to the medial region of the tibia and from center of the tibial insertion of PCL to the lateral region of the tibia. Results: The anteroposterior diameter of tibial plateau is 43 mm; tibial insertion of PCL is 34 mm from the medial cortex and 36 mm from lateral cortex of tibia. Conclusion: The PCL has extensive insertion on Tibial Plateau. Our study concludes that the tibial insertion of PCL is slightly medial on the tibial plateau in both left and right knees in both male and female. So the location of center of the tibial insertion of PCL has no significant differences in terms of gender and side distribution among elderly Chinese population.
