[0002] Posterior cruciate ligament injury is a common knee injury. When the posterior cruciate ligament is injured, arthroscopic reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament is required. In the prior art, the posterior cruciate ligament stump is first cleaned, and a locator is used to establish a bone tunnel for the autologous graft to pass through the tibia and femur. In the process of establishing the bone tunnel, a tibial sight is first required to locate the guide needle, and then a hollow drill is drilled through the bone tunnel along the direction of the guide needle. At the same time, a posterior medial approach observation channel is added to prevent the guide needle and drill bit from drilling through the cortex and continuing to move forward to damage important blood vessels and nerves behind the knee.
