The accuracy of the 3D-printed navigation template for the location of tibial tunnel in posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: an in-vitro experimental study
Ten porcine tibiae were scanned by computed tomography (CT) and the three‑dimensional (3D)-printed navigation template for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction was designed using the Rhinoceros software. The outcomes of the control group and experimental group were obtained from the preoperative design and the navigation template, respectively. This paper focuses on evaluating the accuracy of the 3D-printed navigation template used to assist the anatomical location of tibial tunnel in PCL reconstruction in an in-vitro experimental study.
