Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
PCL Surgery Care by Dr. Harsha G N
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries affect the stability of the knee by allowing the tibia to move backward in relation to the femur. These injuries commonly occur due to high-impact trauma such as road traffic accidents, sports injuries, or falls on a bent knee.
PCL surgery is recommended in cases of severe or complete ligament tears causing persistent instability. Arthroscopic reconstruction techniques are used to restore knee stability, reduce pain, and improve long-term joint function.
When to Consider PCL Surgery
- Persistent knee pain or swelling after injury
- Knee instability or difficulty walking downhill or stairs
- Complete PCL tear confirmed by MRI
- Associated ligament or cartilage injuries
Advantages of PCL Surgery
- Restores knee stability and functional alignment
- Prevents progressive knee degeneration
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic approach
- Improves mobility and quality of life
Rehabilitation after PCL surgery is essential for optimal recovery. A guided physiotherapy program helps strengthen the knee, restore range of motion, and ensure long-term joint stability and performance.

My first operation ever (hopefully the last). The experience in the Operation Theatre was mind blowing. DK sir, all docs, and supporting staff were extremely cool right from the time I got into the Operation Theatre. I had to get my Ankle operated (2 fractures). I felt I was in safe hands throughout.

We have known Dr.Harsha for 2 years now. Had consulted him for my mother in law arthritis treatment. Recently visited him for my mother in law’s arm fracture. He provided us with the best course of treatment considering all the other health factors. Always seen him as a very humble person, provides knowledgable care and takes time to address all our doubts and fears. Good doctors like Dr.Harsha replace the fear of illness with trust in recovery. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good orthopaedic advice and treatment. I am really grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well being.
