Patellar (or PCL) Surgery Overview
Patellar surgery, also known as posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction or repair, is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing injuries or abnormalities in the PCL, a ligament located at the back of the knee joint. The surgery is typically performed to restore knee stability and function after tears or damage resulting from sports, trauma, or degenerative conditions. It addresses torn ligaments, instability, arthritis, and functional injuries while minimizing postoperative complications and facilitating rehabilitation.
PCL Surgery Techniques:
- Traditional PCL Reconstruction: Surgically replaces the torn PCL using autografts (patient’s own tissue) or allografts (donor tissue), restoring knee stability.
- Arthroscopic PCL Reconstruction: Minimally invasive technique accesses the knee joint for reconstruction, resulting in smaller incisions and quicker recovery.
- PCL Repair: Surgical reattachment of partially torn ligaments to bone using sutures or anchors, promoting healing and function restoration.
- Augmentation Techniques: Additional procedures like ligament reinforcement may be performed alongside reconstruction or repair to optimize stability.

PCL Surgery: Pre-Op & Post-Op Care
Preparation: Before posterior cruciate ligament injury treatment, patients are evaluated through medical history, physical examination, and MRI scans to assess ligament damage, aiding surgical planning and complication anticipation.
During the surgery: PCL surgery procedure involves repairing or reconstructing the damaged ligament using open surgery or minimally invasive methods like arthroscopy. The surgeon assesses the injury, performs repairs/reconstruction using patient’s own tissue (autografts) or donor tissue (allografts), closes the incisions, and stabilizes the knee.
Duration: The duration of PCL surgery ranges from 1 to 2 hours, depending on injury complexity and surgical technique.
Recovery: After PCL surgery, patients are closely monitored in the recovery area until they regain consciousness and their vital signs stabilize. They are then provided with instructions on post-operative care, including pain management, wound care, and rehabilitation exercises.
Post-Procedure Care: Follow-up appointments monitor healing, assess range of motion, and check for complications like infection or blood clots. Physical therapy aids in regaining strength, stability, and function in the knee joint. Weight-bearing and activity restrictions are gradually eased based on patient progress.

FAQ's
Can a torn PCL heal without surgery?
Yes, a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) can potentially heal without surgery, especially if it’s a partial tear or if the individual has a sedentary lifestyle. However, complete tears or injuries accompanied by instability often require surgical intervention for optimal recovery and to prevent long-term complications.
What to expect after PCL surgery?
Following PCL surgery, there will be an initial period of immobilization followed by physical therapy to regain strength, range of motion, and knee stability. Expect swelling and discomfort initially, which decrease over time with proper rehabilitation. Recovery timeline and outcomes differ based on individual factors and injury severity.
Is PCL surgery worth it?
PCL surgery consideration hinges on injury severity, activity level, and goals. For significant instability impacting daily function or sports, surgery may restore stability and prevent complications. Decisions should involve consultation with a healthcare professional assessing individual situations and discussing surgery’s potential benefits and risks.
How long is PCL recovery after surgery?
PCL surgery recovery time varies based on surgical technique, injury extent, and individual healing. Expect a timeline spanning months, progressing from immobilization to exercises, strengthening, and return to activities. Full recovery may take six months to a year or longer.
Can you walk after PCL surgery?
Post-surgery, walking starts with crutches or knee brace support. Ability to bear weight and walk unaided varies by individual and surgical approach. Physical therapy is vital for restoring normal gait and strengthening muscles for functional mobility during recovery.
