PCL Tear Injury
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is larger and stronger than the >Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). In most Posterior Cruciate Ligament injuries, the mechanism of injury is usually a blow to the front of the upper shin. Unlike ACL injuries, there is not usually knee pain or swelling with isolated PCL tears. So long as there is no damage to other knee joint structures, and there is no knee joint instability, most people can return to sports in 4-6 weeks using a Knee Brace, following physiotherapy treatment.
Common PCL Tear signs & symptoms:
- A history of trauma to the knee joint.
- There is rarely knee pain or knee swelling.
- Vague unsteadiness or insecurity in the knee.
