Understanding PCL Injuries
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the strongest ligament in the knee and provides key stability to the joint. It is usually injured when someone lands on a hyperextended knee, takes a direct blow to the front of a bent knee, or in car accidents (dashboard injuries) where the knee is forced backward quickly. PCL injuries can also follow sports incidents and sudden twisting.
A direct hit forces the knee backward in car accidents.
Landing on a hyperextended knee or sudden twisting.
Impact to the front of a bent knee.
Symptoms & Grading
Immediately after a PCL injury there is pain and swelling, and it may be hard to walk on the knee. With time the pain and swelling settle, but instability persists, with difficulty squatting and climbing stairs.
A PCL tear is graded by the laxity of the knee:
- Grade 1 and most Grade 2: managed with a PCL brace and exercises.
- Grade 3 (complete tear): PCL reconstruction is recommended to restore stability and prevent arthritis.
PCL Treatment & Dr. Jitesh's Technique
Treatment ranges from conservative care (physiotherapy and bracing) to surgical reconstruction for severe cases. In PCL surgery, success depends on how strong the reconstructed ligament is, along with precise surgical technique.
Dr. Jitesh uses an ultra-strong, thick graft with precise tunnel positioning for a high success rate. For high-demand patients, he recommends a thick graft reinforced with fiber tape for added strength. A dedicated post-surgery exercise rehabilitation programme supports the best results.
