Everything about The Posterior Cruciate Ligament totally explained
The
posterior cruciate ligament (or PCL) is one of the four major
ligaments of the
knee. It connects the
posterior intercondylar area of the
tibia to the
medial condyle of the
femur. This configuration allows the PCL to resist forces pushing the tibia posteriorly relative to the femur.
Injury
The posterior
drawer test is used by doctors to detect injury to the PCL.
The posterior cruciate ligament is a section of the patellar tendon joining medially to the lateral quadriceps femoris.
Surgery to repair the Posterior Cruciate ligament is controversial due to its placement and technical difficulty.
