Core Tip
Core Tip: This meta-analysis demonstrates that the peroneus longus tendon autograft is a viable and effective option for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, with evidence supporting improved knee stability and functional outcomes. Favourable muscle preservation is a key advantage. However, further high-quality studies are needed to confirm its long-term efficacy and safety across diverse populations.
