In this episode of The Shelburne Center podcast, we dive deep into the world of PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) tears, a lesser-known but significant knee injury. Dr. Benner guides us through the various aspects of PCL tear diagnosis, focusing on the unique injury mechanisms typically associated with these tears.
We explore the signs and symptoms that patients can expect, such as bruising and the characteristic posterior sag of the tibia. Special attention is given to the physical examination techniques and imaging tools that aid in correctly diagnosing PCL tears.
Dr. Benner shares insights into the non-surgical treatment approach employed at the Shelburne Knee Center, emphasizing the importance of rehabilitation without the need for surgical interventions. The discussion covers the expected healing timelines for various grades of PCL tears and highlights the key rehabilitation steps required to ensure optimal recovery.
This episode also contrasts PCL tears with ACL injuries, explaining why surgeries are often unnecessary for isolated PCL tears. Join us as we unravel the complexities of PCL injuries and provide valuable educational resources for enhancing patient care.
