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
