Suture Tape Augmentation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Shows Improved Biomechanical Stability With Equivalent Outcome and Complication Rates: A Scoping Review (03/25)
February 2, 2026
Abstract/Purpose: To assess the current literature surrounding suture tape augmentation (STA) of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) with additional evaluation of PCLR+STA in clinical practice.
Methods
A systematic search of 3 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science Core Collection) was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was completed in April 2023 to identify studies related to PCLR+STA. Surgical technique, animal, biomechanical, and clinical studies were included for review with quality appraisal conducted according to study design.
