PCL Reconstruction in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic

At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish performs PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) reconstruction using advanced surgical techniques to treat ligament injuries caused by sports trauma, accidents, or knee instability. This procedure restores posterior knee stability, reduces pain, and helps patients safely return to daily activities and athletic performance.

What is PCL Reconstruction?

PCL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or replace the posterior cruciate ligament, which stabilizes the back of the knee. The damaged ligament is replaced with a graft from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft), restoring knee stability, improving mobility, and protecting the joint from future injuries. This surgery is essential for patients experiencing chronic instability or functional limitations due to PCL tears.

Benefits of PCL Reconstruction

PCL reconstruction offers multiple advantages for patients with posterior knee ligament injuries. By restoring ligament strength and alignment, patients experience improved knee function, reduced pain, and long-term joint stability. Key benefits include:

Restores posterior knee stability and prevents further ligament injuries.
Reduces pain and swelling associated with PCL injuries.
Improves overall knee function and allows safe participation in sports and daily activities.
Minimally invasive surgical techniques promote faster recovery with reduced tissue damage.
Supports long-term knee health and reduces the risk of early arthritis.

Recovery and Outcomes

Initial recovery focuses on controlled knee movement and gradual restoration of posterior stability.
Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises are essential to regain full knee function.
Patients may walk with support within 1–3 weeks depending on the severity of the injury and procedure.
Return to sports and high-impact activities is typically achievable within 4–6 months with proper rehabilitation.
Successful PCL reconstruction restores knee stability, enhances mobility, and reduces the risk of reinjury.
