Diagnosis & Treatment that You Can Trust
Optimal bone, joint and ligament health is significant for humans through childhood to old age for leading a healthy & good quality of life. We at Omni Hospitals understand how important it is to treat and take care of bones, muscles, joints and ligaments, especially in case of injury or trauma in our patients. Our medical and surgical specialists at Omni Hospital carefully treat injuries of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) through surgical intervention and rehabilitation under professional therapists and healthcare providers.
Here is a brief account of this medical injury.
The posterior Cruciate Ligament, or PCL, connects the upper part of the leg with the lower part of the leg. This helps keep your legs moving smoothly and aids in locomotion. When the PCL is torn or sprained due to trauma such as falling or hitting, you experience pain and inflammation that can be unbearable in many cases.
Since PCL helps to walk, you may have temporary locomotory issues but persistent pain, swelling, and mild or severe discomfort also be present.

Depending on the severity of the PCL injury, there may be mild discomfort or severe pain. It is best to get the treatment done by a top doctor in case you have received trauma at the leg joints and experience pain for a longer time than normal.
Patients often do not require surgery for PCL injury. Using knee braces or clutches may be enough, along with physical therapy.
If the PCL injury is not severe, it may take about two to four weeks to recover completely. However, if the PCL injury turns out to be severe, it may take 6-9 months to recover fully.
