Improved understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) has led to the evolution and improvement of anatomic-based reconstructions. The PCL is composed of the larger anterolateral bundle (ALB) and the smaller posteromedial bundle (PMB).

Posterior cruciate ligament injuries may occur as an isolated injury or in combination with other ligaments in the multiple-ligament injured knee. Caution must be exercised in chronic posterior cruciate ligament injuries since the MRI may demonstrate a normal-appearing posterior cruciate ligament even when there is significant laxity on clinical ...

Posterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
There is a relative lack of research and literature investigating injuries to the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), despite the fact that it is an important knee stabilizer. The PCL is injured less frequently than other knee ligaments, and the mechanism is usually a direct blow to the anterior aspect of a flexed knee.

Combined Anatomical Arthroscopic Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Using a Knotless Anchor: A Simplified Approach [PDF]
Posterior cruciate ligament injuries are commonly associated with the knee joint posterolateral corner injury. Many open surgical techniques have been described in the literature to restore knee joint stability, including reconstruction of the posterior ...

A review of ultrasonographic methods for the assessment of the anterior cruciate ligament in patients with knee instability – diagnostics using a posterior approach [PDF]
Aim: The purpose of the study was to improve the ultrasonographic assessment of the anterior cruciate ligament by an inclusion of a dynamic element. The proposed functional modification aims to restore normal posterior cruciate ligament tension, which is

Mechanoreceptors of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament [PDF]
The mechanical role of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in the passive and functional stability of the knee joint has been well documented. Both these knee joint ligaments contain Ruffini, Pacinian, Golgi and free nerve endings with different capabilities of providing the central nervous system with information regarding movement and ...
