Posterior cruciate ligament injuries [PDF]
We have studied 48 patients with posterior cruciate ligament injury and 14 knees from fresh frozen cadavers. A diagnosis of posterior cruciate ligament injury was made by the sag and posterior drawer signs and stress x-ray films, the latter being useful in the grossly swollen and multiple ligament-injured knee.

Accurate Measurement in All-inside Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Technical Note. [PDF]
Abstract With the increasing rate of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLr) and growing adoption of the all‐inside PCLr, the existing literature lacks an optimal surgical protocol for this technique. It is well recognized that variations in knee size and intraoperative positioning pose challenges in determining the key parameter—the length ...

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 ...

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 ...
