Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Tear

A PCL tear often follows a dashboard hit, a fall on a bent knee, or a hard deceleration. The knee may swell, ache deep in back, and feel loose on stairs or downhill. Early choices matter.

We help you sort a likely grade, protect the knee in the first 72 hours, and choose a brace and rehab that put the quads to work while you avoid early hamstring loading. We also spell out when an MRI adds value. If specialist care is best, we guide you to the right knee expert for your sport and goals.

Tell us how you were injured and what you want to return to. We’ll map swelling control, range, strength, and clear milestones for running, cutting, and contact.
