Any thoughts?
PCLs are over-rated, you don't really need them.And there's no good evidence that PCL recon improves function*.*assuming it's an isolated PCL.
It appears that you have most likely torn your PCL. You are in the wrong place, go and see a specialist knee orthopeadic consultant asap.
Car crash sounds nasty, glad you're semi-okay.
I guess the NHS just don't bother doing them unless absolutely necessary?
So you like drilling, cutting and screwing people back together then
If you get really bored while you have your brace on I will play Scrabble with you on Facebook*. *not a euphemism
jamie big hands did the nose wearing his knee brace.you will be fine.my wife had surgery on both knees, today she is a legend
Sorry to resurrect this old thread (particularly as I'm basically a lurker round here), but I've just ruptured my PCL and wondered if any previous posters or others could give me a few hints based on their own experiences?I'm currently living in Canada (probably until summer 2013), so will likely try to rehab without surgery if I will be able to do some hiking, climbing and skiing in that time, as surgery would mean waiting and recovering when I want to be exploring! I've had an MRI and seen a consultant and he thought this was a sensible plan.
I guess my concern is about long term health, and whether it is worth pursuing the surgery for the chance that it will improve long-term outcomes. It all seems pretty uncertain.
