PCL Tear

Experiencing pain, swelling, or instability in your knee after a fall or sudden impact? You may have sustained a PCL tear, a less common but significant knee injury that affects joint stability and mobility. At Theracave, we offer expert physical therapy for PCL tears—helping you recover strength, restore movement, and get back to your daily activities safely and confidently.

The PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) is one of the key stabilizers of the knee, preventing the shinbone from moving too far backward. Tears often result from trauma or accidents and may be overlooked without a proper diagnosis. Early rehabilitation can help restore knee function and avoid long-term complications.

Causes:

Falling on a bent knee

Hyperextension of the knee during sports or activity

Sudden stops or changes in direction

Severe twisting injuries

Symptoms

Pain in the back of the knee

Swelling that develops within hours of the injury

Knee stiffness or reduced range of motion

Difficulty walking or descending stairs

Q&A

What is a PCL tear and how is it different from an ACL tear?

A PCL tear affects the posterior cruciate ligament, located behind the knee, and is often caused by direct impact or falling on a bent knee. Unlike an ACL tear, which is more common and often results from pivoting or twisting, PCL injuries are typically the result of trauma.
