Talk: Posterior cruciate ligament

- i have ruptured both my ACL and PCL i have also sustained a grade 3 tear in my MCL,can any one please let me know my best options. My surgeon has left me to "heal" for well over 12 weeks and he is now talking of not doing any reconstruction at all, should i take this action or damand surgery as i am (at least was) both a compettive skiier and horse rider.amybabes71 6th march 2007

This is a bit late but never mind... Your doctor appears to be a complete tit, a gradeIII tear is full rupture and 3 blown ligaments is not going to get better soon because your knee lacks support stuctures to strain in most directions (muscles will also be atrophying fast). ACL full rupture should be rebuilt for a competitive sportswoman, no doubt.

Also I think the info on the main page might be VERY out of date... link to a 2003 paper? Bit old. I think reconstruction will have progressed considerably. The healing capacity of the PCL being superior is more the trick - do you need surgery?"

Cal Poly Pomona students contributed to this article with information on PCL injuries.

I was wondering, i know of someone who has torn their PCL, how long will they be out of sports for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winnfield (talk • contribs) 19:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
