Advanced Treatment of PCL Injury — Dr. Siddharth Jain, Nagpur
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the four major ligaments in the knee joint that helps stabilize movement and prevent the shinbone from moving too far backward. A PCL injury often occurs due to sports injuries, accidents, or sudden impact, leading to knee pain, swelling, and instability.

At Nagpur Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Centre, under the expertise of Dr. Siddharth Jain (MBBS, MS Orthopaedics, DNB Orthopaedics), patients receive advanced diagnosis and treatment tailored to their condition — whether mild sprains or severe ligament tears.
⚠️ Causes of PCL Injury
- Sports injuries (football, basketball, cricket, wrestling)
- Road accidents (direct impact on the knee)
- Sudden falls or twisting injuries
- Hyperextension of the knee
π Symptoms of PCL Injury
- Pain and swelling in the knee
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion
- Feeling of instability or “giving way” of the knee
- Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or bending the knee
- In severe cases, visible deformity
π₯ Treatment Options for PCL Injury
1. Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatment
- Rest and Ice — Helps reduce pain and swelling.
- Compression and Elevation — Prevents further swelling.
- Physiotherapy — Strengthens surrounding muscles and restores mobility.
- Bracing — Provides external support to stabilize the knee.
This approach is effective for mild to moderate PCL injuries.
2. Surgical Treatment
In cases of severe tears, multiple ligament injuries, or chronic instability, surgery may be required.
- Arthroscopic PCL Reconstruction — A minimally invasive surgery where the damaged ligament is replaced with a graft for long-term stability.
- Advanced Rehabilitation — Post-surgery physiotherapy ensures proper healing and return to sports/activities.
