Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Injury Treatment in Hyderabad - Dr. Srivanth's Orthopedic Clinic (Chikkadpally & Nearby Areas)
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a strong ligament located behind the knee joint. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee and preventing excessive backward movement of the shin bone (tibia) relative to the thigh bone (femur). A PCL injury can significantly impact your knee stability and mobility.

PCL Injury: Causes and Symptoms
PCL injuries can occur due to various reasons, including:
- Direct blow to the front of the knee
- Sudden hyperextension of the knee joint
- Landing awkwardly from a jump
- Forceful twisting of the knee
Common symptoms of a PCL injury include:
- Pain and swelling in the knee joint
- Difficulty bending the knee fully
- Looseness or instability in the knee joint, particularly when going downhill or down stairs
- Feeling like the knee is giving way
Treatment Options for PCL Injuries:
Treatment for a PCL injury depends on the severity of the tear. In some cases, non-surgical treatments like:
- Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
- Bracing and immobilization
- Physical therapy
may be sufficient for healing. However, in more severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary for optimal knee stability and function. Dr. Srivanth is skilled in performing various arthroscopic PCL reconstruction techniques using grafts to rebuild the torn ligament.
