Objective To systematically review the effectiveness of double-bundle versus single-bundle for arthroscopic transtibial reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Methods We searched PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, VIP and WanFang Data to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of PCL reconstruction treated with double-bundle versus single-bundle arthroscopic transtibial technique. Two reviewers screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies, and then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 4 RCTs involving 186 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that double-bundle was superior to single-bundle in Lysholm score (MD=2.17, 95%CI 0.29 to 4.05, P=0.02), Tegner score (MD=0.62, 95%CI 0.09 to 1.16, P=0.02), IKDC objective score (A:RR=1.57, 95%CI 1.09 to 2.26, P=0.02; A+B:RR=1.15, 95%CI 1.01 to 1.32, P=0.04). However, there was no significant difference in the KT-1000 posterior between both groups (MD=-0.65, 95%CI -3.29 to 1.99, P=0.63). Conclusion The current evidence shows that the double bundle arthroscopic transtibial is superior to the single bundle PCL reconstruction. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies with large sample-size are needed to validate the conclusion.
