Benefits of PCL Surgery what precautions
patient has to take after surgery.
PCL Surgery is the surgical repair of Posterior
Cruciate Ligament after a Sprain, Strain or Tear.
PCL is located in the back area of the knee. The
PCL connects the thigh bone, that is Femur to the
shin of Tibia. The PCL and ACL (posterior and
anterior cruciate ligament) work together to
stabilize the knee joint. Benefits of PCL Surgery
include, PCL surgery is a minimally invasive
operation. You will likely go to an outpatient
surgical center and get operated on easily. PCL
surgery also prevents further injury or damage to
the PCL itself and other structures of the knees,
including aiding in the prevention of potential
osteoarthritis. PCL surgery will provide a near
normal knee and allow a more rapid return to
day-to day activities, work, hobbies etc. The
success rate of PCL graft is 75 to 100 (the
average being around 85).Surgery helps to return
to activities or jobs quickly, also controls
severe problems caused secondary to PCL damage.
Knees become stronger after PCL surgery as
biomechanical studies show that it become 75
stronger than normal PCL at times of injury. Some
studies on patellar tendon grafts have
demonstrated higher function scores post
operatively and low failure rates.  After PCL
surgery you can start walking with the help of
crutches in about 2 weeks after the surgery also
varies according to patients conditions. There
are some precautions patient have to take care
after PCL surgery that enhances the successful
surgery also helps patient to get back to work
soon.

Precautions taken after PCL surgery are keeping
dressing for the initial days after surgery make
the wound dry for the 1st 3 days after the
surgery. Take painkillers regularly, keep this in
mind elevating your leg can speed up the healing
process. You can use Icepacks for 15 minutes 3
times regularly to manage swelling
post-operation. Bandaging and bracing are best
precautionary measures for post-operated PCL
injuries management. You will leave hospital with
a compression bandage, this will help to reduce
swelling and will be removed in the next 45 hours
if your swelling is managed. You have to wear
knee braces (PCL braces) approx for 6 months
after surgery.

Keep in mind any attempt to bend the knee your
own self can rupture the graft you have to do
all exercises with the help of a physiotherapist.

process, and will also avoid secondary
complications. PCL ligament injuries do occur and
can cause some serious issues with your knees if
