Understanding PCL Injuries

The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the key ligaments in the knee, responsible for stabilizing movement and preventing the shinbone from moving too far backward. PCL injuries commonly occur due to direct impact, sports injuries, or accidents, leading to knee pain, swelling, and instability.

Symptoms of a PCL Injury

A PCL tear or sprain can present with:

  • Mild to severe knee pain
  • Swelling and stiffness
  • Difficulty in bending or straightening the knee
  • A feeling of instability or “giving way” in the knee

Diagnosis & Evaluation at Numed Hospital

At Numed Hospital, our expert orthopedic team utilizes advanced diagnostic techniques, including MRI, X-rays, and clinical knee assessments, to accurately determine the severity of the PCL injury. Our specialists ensure a thorough evaluation to recommend the most effective treatment plan.

Treatment Options for PCL Injuries

Non-Surgical Treatment

For mild to moderate PCL injuries, conservative treatment may be effective, which includes:

  • Physical Therapy: Strengthening exercises to restore knee function
  • Bracing & Immobilization: To provide support and prevent further damage
  • Pain Management: Anti-inflammatory medications and lifestyle modifications

Surgical Treatment

Severe PCL tears or injuries that fail to heal with conservative methods may require PCL reconstruction surgery. At Numed Hospital, we offer:

  • Minimally Invasive Arthroscopic Surgery for faster recovery
  • Customized Rehabilitation Programs for optimal post-surgical recovery

FAQ's

A PCL injury can range from mild to severe. While minor sprains heal with therapy, complete tears may cause knee instability, requiring surgery for full recovery.

An ACL injury is generally worse than a PCL injury as it affects knee stability more, often requiring surgery, while PCL injuries can sometimes heal without surgery.

PCL recovery varies; mild injuries heal in 6-8 weeks with therapy, while severe tears needing surgery take 6-12 months for full rehabilitation and knee stability.
