| Popis: | The Long-term results of 23 patients with isola-ted posterior cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries and 28 patients with PCL complex injuries were evaluated. In the isolated PCL injuries, the over-all result of the group treated conservatively was better than that of the operatively treated. The functional results had no relation to the degree of ligamentous laxity, but had intimate relation to the torque of quadriceps muscle. PCL injuries would cause a relatively slight roentgenographic osteoarthritis however, meniscectomy, if added, hastens the osteoarthritic change. The authors think that for the isolated PCL injuries the conservative treatment is recommended and for the complex injuries the primary repair or reconstruction of PCL would be more advisable. |
