Management of Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Posterolateral Instability of the Knee

  • Chapter

The natural history of PCL tears has not been well defined. The general consensus has been that isolated PCL tears do well when treated nonoperatively, and multiple ligament injuries about the knee should be surgically stabilized.1–3
