Overview
PCL reconstruction replaces a torn posterior cruciate ligament to restore stability.

Indications
High-grade tears with instability or combined ligament injuries.

How it is done
A graft is positioned to recreate the PCL pathway and fixed with anchors or screws.

Risks and considerations
Residual laxity or stiffness may occur; rehab is critical.

Recovery timeline
Rehab often lasts 6 to 9 months with gradual return to sport.

When to seek care
Persistent instability or increasing swelling should be evaluated.
