Another choice is allograft tissue, which is taken from a deceased donor.
Repair surgery typically is ...

The posterior cruciate ligament is one of the main ligament in the back of the knee. It is one of the several ligaments that connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shinbone). The posterior cruciate ligament keeps the tibia from moving backwards too far. An injury to the posterior cruciate ligament can happen many ways. It typically requires a powerful force.
