PCL Reconstruction
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a ligament located on the inside of your knee - behind the anterior cruciate ligament. It connects your shin bone to your thigh bone. The PCL helps keep your shin bone from moving backward with respect to your thigh bone. A torn PCL may result from a severe twisting injury, falling on an outstretched knee, or injuring the knee during contact sports." It can be mildly damaged, partial tear or complete tear of the ligament.
The procedure involves reconstructing the damaged ligament using a graft to restore knee stability and function. With advanced surgical techniques and proper rehabilitation, patients can regain strength, improve mobility, and return to normal activities safely.
