PCL Reconstruction Surgery Experts Pune
At Sancheti Hospital, we perform precise PCL reconstruction surgeries to stabilise knees, restore mobility, and ensure long-term joint health.
What is PCL Reconstruction Surgery?
The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is one of the strongest ligaments in the knee, responsible for preventing the shinbone from moving too far backward. PCL injuries, though less common than ACL injuries, can occur due to accidents, falls, or sports-related trauma. PCL reconstruction surgery involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft, often harvested from the patient’s hamstring or quadriceps tendon. In some cases, patients may require ACL and PCL reconstruction surgery if both ligaments are injured, especially in high-impact trauma. At Sancheti Hospital, our expert orthopaedic surgeons specialize in arthroscopic PCL reconstruction, using advanced techniques to restore stability and function to the knee joint.
Benefits of PCL Reconstruction Surgery
- Restores knee stability: Reduces the feeling of the knee “giving way.”
- Improves functionality: Enables patients to walk, climb, and perform activities with confidence.
- Arthroscopic precision: Smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
- Prevents further injury: Protects surrounding ligaments and cartilage from long-term damage.
- Sports recovery: Helps athletes return to competitive activities with a stable knee.
Limitations and Disadvantages
Like any surgical procedure, PCL reconstruction surgery has limitations. Recovery is gradual and may take 6–12 months depending on injury severity. Risks include stiffness, infection, graft failure, or incomplete recovery if physiotherapy protocols are not followed. Unlike ACL injuries, PCL injuries may sometimes be managed conservatively, so surgery is recommended only in cases of complete tears or combined ligament injuries.
