    INTRODUCTION: Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) reconstruction is a complex surgical procedure and often challenging. The newer posterior trans-septal portal technique is thought to make tibial tunnel preparation easier with better visualization of the tibial attachment site. It is also thought to lower the risk of neurovascular injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent arthroscopic all-inside PCL reconstruction using the posterior trans-septal portal at our institute.

    METHODS: This was a retrospective study with prospectively collected data between 2016 and 2020. Data collected were age, gender, types of graft used, range of movement, posterior drawer test grade, KOOS score, Lysholm knee scoring scale, and post-operative complications. All patients underwent pre- and post-operative PCL rehabilitation.

    RESULTS: A total of 36 patients (26 males and 10 females) were identified from our database. The mean age was 35.2 years. Mean time from injury to surgery was 20 months. Mean follow-up was 41.2 months (range, 13-72 months). Twenty cases involved multi-ligament injuries and another 16 patients had isolated PCL injury. Post-operative mean posterior drawer test grade improved from 2.7 to 0.7 (p
