Graft bending angle of the reconstructed posterior cruciate ligament gradually decreases as knee flexion increases

ConclusionChanges in the femoral graft bending angle were generally affected by different knee flexion angles. The effect of tibial tunnel direction on the tibial graft bending angle was found to be significant. The clinical relevance is that a mostly obtuse femoral graft bending angle was shown by the AL graft among three types of the graft.
