Abstrakt: The article focuses on familiarizing with the mechanisms typically associated with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries. Current treatment options for PCL and its management through nonoperative and surgical interventions is discussed. The study suggests focusing on physical therapy that encourages quadriceps strengthening during rehabilitation. Uncertainty of surgical reconstruction needs future research to focus on defining the best methods for restoring function and stability.
