“…PCL injuries are usually associated with a posteriorly directed force on a flexed knee with the foot in plantar flexion. This mechanism of injury is most commonly seen in contact sports and motor vehicle collisions (i.e., "dashboard injuries") [7,8], although these injuries can also occur during knee hyperextension. Clinical classification of these ligamentous injuries is based on the amount of posterior subluxation of the tibia relative to the femoral condyles when a posteriorly directed load is placed on the proximal tibia with the knee positioned at 90°of flexion.…”

Recent biomechanical and clinical studies have brought attention to improved surgical techniques and clinical outcomes of PCL reconstruction. In contrast to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries occur much less frequently and have traditionally been treated non-operatively. Even when a PCL injury meets operative indications, outcomes of PCL reconstruction historically do not match the success rates of ACL reconstruction procedures. As such, there remains controversy regarding appropriate indications and techniques for surgical repair leading to a paucity of conclusive data regarding surgical outcomes. Recently, however, there has been an increase in focus on the role of the PCL in proper knee biomechanics and negative long-term sequelae of chronic PCL insufficiency. This improved understanding has led to advancements in surgical technique and graft options for PCL reconstruction.

Background - The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), a major stabiliser of the knee, restrains the posterior translation of tibia over femur. Injury to the two bundles of this ligament is usually seen in a motor vehicle accident, followed by dashboard injury. Methods - Non-operative management post posterior cruciate ligament tears includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and rehabilitation. Common surgical procedures include trans-tibial tunnel or tibial inlay technique of graft reconstruction, single bundle or double bundle reconstruction. Literature on outcomes of posterior cruciate ligament injuries managed with either of the methods is sparse; we therefore aim to conduct an interventional study to analyse the patients’ functional status and satisfaction post treatment. Conclusions - Lysholm knee scoring scale and IKDC knee scoring system will be used as outcome measures. The follow up scores are taken 6, 12, 15 and 24 months after the treatment.
