PCL Surgeon in Jaipur

Knee injuries can be particularly distressing, and a PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) injury is no exception. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of PCL injuries, discussing their symptoms, treatment options, and the rehabilitation process. Furthermore, we’ll introduce you to Dr. Jitesh Jain, the leading knee ligament surgeon in Jaipur, who can guide you toward a full recovery.

Understanding PCL Injuries:

The Posterior Cruciate Ligament is a vital structure in the knee joint. It is the strongest ligament of the knee joint and provides stability to the joint.The PCL is usually injured when someone lands on a hyperextended knee or when one gets injured from a direct blow on the front of the bent knee. It is also common in car accidents (dashboard injuries)  where a direct hit forces the knee backward very quickly. So PCL injuries can occur due to sports-related incidents, accidents, or sudden twisting motions.

Signs and symptoms: Symptoms of a PCL injury may include pain, swelling, and instability in the knee. Immediately after injury, the knee gets pain and swelling. It might be difficult to walk on to the injured knee joint. With time pain and swelling go down but instability persists. One may have difficulty in squatting and climbing stairs after PCL injury.

We grade PCL tear according to severity of laxity of the knee joint from grade 1 to grade 3. Grade three is the complete tear and requires surgical reconstruction. 

Treatment Options:

Dr. Jitesh Jain specializes in the treatment of PCL injuries. Treatment options may range from conservative approaches like physical therapy and bracing to surgical intervention for severe cases. Dr. Jitesh will assess your condition thoroughly and recommend the most suitable course of action.

Most grade one and few grade 2 tears (on clinical examination) can be managed with PCL brace and exercises. In grade 3 PCL tears surgery (PCL reconstruction) is recommended for best results and to prevent instability and arthritic changes. In the PCL tear success rate depends on how strong is the reconstructed ligament apart from precise surgical technique. 

Dr Jitesh uses ultra strong thick graft which, with precise tunnel position gives high success rate. In high demanding patients he recommends use of thick graft with fiber tape.

Recovery and Rehabilitation:

Rehabilitation is a critical phase of recovery for PCL injuries. Dr. Jitesh Jain is dedicated to ensuring that you receive comprehensive post-treatment care, which may involve exercises, strengthening routines, and mobility exercises to help you regain optimal knee function.

For best results after PCL surgery we have formulated a special exercise rehabilitation program.
