Introduction

• The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a
  ligament within the knee. Ligaments are tough
  bands of tissue that connect bones.
• The PCL - similar to the anterior cruciate
  ligament (ACL) - connects the thigh bone (femur)
  to your shin bone (tibia). Although it is larger
  and stronger than the ACL, the PCL can be torn.

Causes

• PCL injuries are often due to a blow to the knee
  while it's bent.
• There are a number of ways your PCL can be
  damaged Something forces your knee backward very
  quickly -- a car crash, for example.
• Sports are a common cause of PCL injury
  football, soccer, basketball, cricket, etc.

5
Symptoms

• Most people don't feel or hear a "popping"
  sensation in the knee after a PCL injury. This is
  more common with an injury to the ACL.
• The different symptoms are knee pain, swelling,
  Trouble walking or bearing weight on the knee

6
Treatment

• Physical examination is a common test for PCL
  injuries, you lie on your back with your knee
  bent. Your doctor then examines your knee and
  presses against your upper shin. Abnormal knee
  movement during this test suggests a PCL injury.
