Abstract
Postoperative rehabilitation is important and includes using a hinged brace with 0° to 90° of motion for the first 2 weeks and partial weight bearing. Starting in week 2, continued brace use is recommended, with unlimited degrees of range of motion and weight bearing during standing and walking. After 6 weeks, unrestricted activity was allowed. Controlled sports activities after 3 months and contact sports after 6 months were allowed. Quadriceps exercises are the mainstay of rehabilitation, Hamstring exercise by Bridge on stability ball exercise may be used during earlier phases of rehabilitation T-reach exercise may be used during later phases of rehabilitation
There are several complications, if untreated or missed includes osteoarthritis, functional limitations, overload the PCL reconstruction graft, which would lead to its failure. Intraoperatively, common peroneal nerve injury, an iatrogenic fibular head or neck fracture during fibular tunnel placement and graft Fixation. Postoperatively, there may be compartment syndrome, vascular injury, infection, deep vein thrombosis, graft failure, arthrofibrosis, residual laxity, persistent knee pain, heterotopic ossification and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
Finally, understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, diagnosis, and management of PLC injuries has increased. This all make the dark side of the knee near to be lighter.
