OVERVIEW

Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Tear

The posterior cruciate ligament is stronger and less frequently injured. Motor vehicle accident is when the knees impact the dashboard of the car. This is a common cause of injury. The initial treatment for this injury is rest, elevation, compression, and ice. Recovery may be made easier by physical therapy that combines progressive strengthening with functional exercise. Surgery is rarely necessary.
