Posterior Cruciate Ligament: Current Concepts Review
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest and strongest ligament in the human knee, and the primary posteriorstabilizer. Recent anatomy and biomechanical studies have provided an improved understanding of PCL function. PCLinjuries are typically combined with other ligamentous, meniscal and chondral injuries. Stress radiography has becomean important and validated objective measure in...
متن کاملThe Posterior Cruciate Ligament
This PCL pushes the tibia forwards on the femur and hence, is responsible for maintaining congruency of the joint. By virtue of its position at the back of the joint, it also acts like a pivot point about which the rest of the knee moves. When the PCL is damaged, the tibia slides backwards on the femur and, in a complete tear, it moves about 12 mm in that direction. When this happens, the joint...
متن کاملAnterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Deficient Knees
The floppy Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sign is a well-established arthroscopic and MRI indicator of Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) insufficiency. We explored the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such cases by retrospectively analyzing the management of a series of five consecutive cases of iatrogenic floppy ACL reconstructions which resulted in fixed posterior drawer. All patients ...
متن کاملIsolated posterior cruciate ligament calcification.
The authors present a case of calcified posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). A 61-year-old female presented in our department reporting 12 months history of knee pain that was getting worse during the night. The patient was under medication for epileptic seizure, osteoporosis and hyperthyroidism. X-rays demonstrated calcification of the PCL. CT and MRI excluded any other intra-articular and extra...
متن کاملAnatomy of the posterior cruciate ligament.
The purpose of the study was to explain the architecture of the posterior cruciate ligament because the views on its structure presented in the literature are inconsistent - from those considering it as indivisible to those presenting it as a multifascicular structure. Twenty formalin-fixed ligaments from human knee joints were tested using the preparation technique. All posterior cruciate liga...
