ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Allografts were widely used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction for patients with ACL rupture of the knee. This study was to approve the feasibility of bone-posterior cruciate ligament-bone (BPCLB) allograft transplantation in ACL reconstruction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eight patients underwent ACL reconstructions with BPCLB allografts and were followed up for an average period of 32 months after operation.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Subjective parameters including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), modified Larson knee ligament, Lysholm, and Tegner rating scales were much improved and side to side KT-2000 arthrometer difference was much less postoperatively. Pivot shift test was negative in all patients. The reconstructed ACL had satisfactory shape and tension.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>BPCLB allograft is an optional choice for ACL reconstruction.</p>
