The arthroscopically assisted posterior cruciate ligament tibial inlay technique, frequently used in athletic individuals and in revision cases, requires a thorough and comprehensive understanding of posterior knee anatomy. Importantly, variations in the posterior vascular anatomy may be encountered. A safe and methodical posteromedial approach in a layered fashion to achieve proper and safe tibial inlay graft placement and fixation is described. The authors advocate use of a double-bundle quadriceps tendon autograft. Graft position of the double strands, fixation, and tensioning issues are presented.
