PCL Reconstruction in Noida

A PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) injury can lead to knee pain, instability, and difficulty with walking or sports activities. PCL Reconstruction in Noida, performed by Dr. Rahul Kumar, focuses on restoring knee stability, function, and long-term joint health through advanced surgical techniques and structured rehabilitation.

What Is PCL Reconstruction?

PCL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or replace a torn posterior cruciate ligament in the knee. The damaged ligament is reconstructed using a graft to restore normal knee alignment, stability, and movement, especially during weight-bearing activities.

Conditions Treated with PCL Reconstruction

  • Complete or Partial PCL Tears – Resulting in knee instability and pain.

  • High-Impact Knee Injuries – Common after road traffic accidents or sports trauma.

  • Chronic PCL Deficiency – Long-standing knee weakness affecting daily activities.

  • Combined Ligament Injuries – PCL tears with ACL or collateral ligament damage.

  • Failure of Non-Surgical Treatment – Persistent symptoms despite physiotherapy and bracing.

Procedure of PCL Reconstruction

The procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques:

  • Preoperative Assessment – Detailed clinical examination and MRI evaluation.
  • Arthroscopic Surgery – Small incisions with camera-assisted visualization.
  • Graft Reconstruction – Replacement of the torn PCL with a suitable graft.
  • Fixation & Stability Testing – Secure graft fixation and knee stability assessment.

Dr. Rahul Kumar ensures precise surgical technique for optimal stability and faster recovery.
