| More Details: | Objective During the transtibial posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, surgeons commonly pay more attention to the graft turning angle in the sagittal plane (GASP), but the graft turning angle in the coronal plane (GACP) is always neglected. This study hypothesized that the three‐dimensional (3D) killer turn angle was determined by both the GASP and GACP, and aimed to quantitively analyze the effects of the GASP and GACP on the 3D killer turn angle. Methods This was an in‐vitro computer simulation study of transtibial PCL reconstruction using 3D knee models. Patients with knee injuries who were CT scanned were selected from the CT database (April 2019 to January 2021) at a local hospital for reviewing. A total of 60 3D knees were simulated based on the knees' CT data. The femoral and tibial PCL attachment were located on the 3D knee model using the Rhinoceros software. The tibial tunnels were simulated based on different GASP and GACP. The effects of the GASP and GACP on the 3D killer turn angle were quantitatively analyzed. One‐way analysis of variance was used to compare the outcomes in different groups. The regression analysis was performed to identify variables of the GASP and GACP which significantly affected 3D killer turn angle. Results The 3D killer turn angle showed a significant proportional relationship not only with the GASP (r2 > 0.868, P 0.467, P |
