Abstract The aim of this work is to discuss methods of diagnosis and treatment of PCL disruptions. Basic knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the PCI. and the pathophysiology of its injuries is a prerequisite.The PCl attaches on the posterior aspect of the tibia in a depression between the tibial plateaus approximately I em below the joint line, and attaches anteriorly in the intercondylar notch of the femur on the medial femoral condyle. The ligament is composed of a large anterior component that is tight in flexion and lax in extension; conversely. the smaller posterior component is tight in extension and lax in flexion., In addition, there are variable anterior and posterior meniscofemoral ligaments. The peL is an extrasynovial structure that lies behind the intra-articular portion of the knee. The major part of the PCL is composed of bundles of type [ collagen. Type m collagen-positive fibrils separate the bundles. The major cell type is the elongated fibroblast |
