Reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament with autograft hamstring tendons and the Kennedy ligament augmentation device

W G Froese et al. Clin Sports Med. 1994 Jul.

Abstract

In the 1970s, J. C. Kennedy reported on the use of synthetic augmentation in combination with hamstring tendons in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This article explores the surgical approach, technique, and rationale for reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee using autograft hamstring and the Kennedy ligament augmentation device.
